Onsite learning returned to Victorian TAFE adult education providers started welcoming back tens of thousands of students to onsite
learning today.
TAFE providers across Brimbank and surrounding suburbs were able to welcome back students with the state hitting 80 per cent double dose vaccination.
The return of onsite learning will allow students to complete assessments to progress their training and reach their career goals.
Enrollments in TAFE grew over the pandemic by up to 25 per cent among unemployed people, Indigenous and CALD Victorians, people with disability, women and young people.
Melbourne Polytechnic upskilled its 1,400 staff to deliver remote and flexible learning and provide significant online resources to ensure almost all its 9,000 students could continue their studies throughout 2021.
Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney said the TAFE and training system has continued delivering high-quality learning opportunities to Victorians despite the challenges of the pandemic – it is truly world-class.
“Victorians have done an incredible job throughout the pandemic and I’m excited to start seeing campuses roar
back to life as students return across the state.”
