S1E14 – Skills and TAFE in a Digital World with Craig Robertson (TAFE Directors Australia)
The digital world is transforming business, jobs and the skills required for learners across every industry. With fast-paced change driven by continuous innovation and new technology, the TAFE and wider Vocational Education and Training (VET) industry is grappling with new ways to skill up flexible, contextualised and industry-ready talent.
We sat down with TAFE Directors Australia (TDA) CEO, Craig Robertson, who talks to his personal journey as part of the skills sector over 30 years, and his innate motivation to make a difference in the sector. In this episode, Marc and Craig explore:
Why the skills sector needs to adapt to a digitised world.
The unique roles and differentiators of TAFE, private and global training providers.
How training for adaptable and localised skills – not specific jobs – will future-proof Australia in a digital economy, and
The challenge of delivering training for the ‘now’ versus preparing learners for the digital world.
