This webinar introduces you to the huge range of futures available to people who choose courses in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. Presented by Craig Robertson, CEO of TAFE Directors Australia, the session explores the VET system and the range of courses to suit the career aspiration of many Australians. This introduction to the vocational education and training system will also explain the on-line tools to help you provide the right advice in selecting courses and providers as well information on apprenticeship and traineeship options.

TAFE Directors promotes nationally and internationally the critical role that TAFEs play in tertiary education in Australia. Craig explores the role of TAFEs as providers of vocational training and further education and their critical role as a pathway to higher level training and education, and the VET system's partnership with industry and business to develop their workforces and assist in implementing new production processes and services. The webinar also considers how the TAFE Directors organisation works with global multi-lateral organisations, and with overseas governments and their industry and provider representatives to assist in the deployment of training and workforce development to enhance economic capabilities.
