Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1236 asked in the Legislative Council on 5 November 2020 by Hon Colin De Grussa

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

TAFE — REGIONAL INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT MANAGERS

1236. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Minister for Education and Training:

I refer to recommendation 4.4 of the ''Report on the Review of Skills, Training and Workforce Development'', published in June 2020.

(1) How many regional industry engagement managers have been appointed so far, at what campuses, and at what employment level?

(2) Will each individual campus in regional Western Australia have a regional industry engagement manager; and, if not, why not?

(3) What criteria are used to determine whether a campus will have a regional industry engagement manager?

(4) What key performance indicators, if any, will be used to assess the effectiveness of these roles?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Six regional industry engagement manager level 7 positions were established, with each regional TAFE being allocated two positions. Five of these positions have been filled to date, and one position is expected to be filled shortly. At North Regional TAFE, the positions are located at Pundulmurra campus in Port Hedland and Broome campus. At South Regional TAFE, the positions are located at Albany campus and Bunbury campus. At Central Regional TAFE, the positions are located at Geraldton campus and Kalgoorlie campus.

(2)–(3) No. Regional industry engagement managers are based at major campuses, engage with the industries across their designated region, and communicate with each campus located throughout the region.

(4) The key performance indicators are still to be finalised and are currently under negotiation with regional TAFE college managing directors.
