AS STUDENTS consider their 2025 learning options, the ‘TAFE Value and Perception Challenge’ report by McCrindle Research, highlights a shift from traditional career paths to more dynamic ones, with school leavers now expected to have 18 jobs across six careers in their lifetimes.
Despite outdated perceptions, TAFE outcomes often match or exceed university graduates, with more than 150 courses spanning industry fields like business, ICT, and healthcare.
TAFE qualifications can fill 57 per cent of Victoria’s occupation shortages, with four in five jobs accessible through TAFE.
TAFE Gippsland, with 13 campuses and industry-aligned programs, offers strong options for school-leavers and adults seeking education or career changes.
