Manufacturing Research Program
New Manufacturing Research Program
In response
to declining trends in education and training in the manufacturing
and engineering sector, a program of research
was contracted by the TAFE Commission Board to examine the changing skill
requirements of the sector and the subsequent implications for TAFE NSW.
The research outcomes have redefined the vision
for TAFE NSW role in skills development for the manufacturing and
engineering sector.
Strategic
directions are being formulated to revitalise and refocus TAFE NSW
directions in service delivery and its vocational training products for
the manufacturing and engineering industry sector in NSW.
The first
two of a three-phase project are now complete and research reports are
available for downloading:
- The Emerging Training Needs of the NSW
Manufacturing and Engineering Sector – provides a clear
account of the state of the manufacturing and engineering sector in NSW
in the current national and global context and provides insights into
the factors which need to be addressed for its future growth and
development.

- Not with a bang but a whimper – Skills and the
future of NSW Manufacturing and Engineering – provides
innovative strategies that guide TAFE NSW away from its perception as
simply a ‘nuts-and-bolts’ training provider, towards an innovative and
dynamic ‘broker’ of skills development for individuals, enterprises and
the manufacturing and engineering industry sector. The strategies for
TAFE NSW include embracing a commitment to workforce development in
partnership with industry for skill and industry renewal.
