"Western Australia’s training system is about to enter a new era, as the State Government ensures the sector is well positioned to meet industry needs for the next decade. Training Minister Peter Collier outlined his desire to raise the State’s training sector’s status when he addressed a meeting of TAFEWA College Governing Council chairs and managing directors. The Minister outlined his intent to make some significant changes to the TAFE sector, requiring the re-positioning and re-branding of colleges to create Centres of Excellence. “These changes will be made in close consultation with TAFE leaders and the new State Training Board,” he said. A major element of the Government’s plan for change is the passage of a Bill to amend the Vocational Education and Training Act, which passed through the Legislative Council this week."
