Training and Workforce Development

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [ 5.34 pm ]: I rise tonight to make some comments about where we find ourselves with TAFE. One of advantages of having taken a sabbatical from this place is that I am in a position to assess, over a quite significant period, where some of the key projects I was undertaking were when I left this place and to pick them up now. Members may know, or if they do not they are about to, that my first qualification was a certificate IV from TAFE. I remain a strident supporter of the system.

322. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to “Training for the Future”, which states —

A McGowan Labor Government will revamp the State Training Board and Industry Training Councils …

(1) Has the government begun progressing this commitment?

(2) If yes to (1), what work has been undertaken?

(3) Which organisations or individuals are being consulted?

(4) If no to (1), why not?
