this week, found TasTAFE had 24,770 students in 2015-16, compared to 28,841 the previous year.
Student satisfaction with the quality of training was 88.5 per cent and 82.3 per cent of students employed found their training relevant.
Unit completion rates increased from 80.3 per cent in 2014 up to 81.7 per cent the next year.
Ten more full-time equivalent positions were recorded in the North of the state as of June 2016, but in the North-West, there were eight less positions.
Four noticeable incidents were recorded throughout the 2015-16 financial year, two serious injuries and two dangerous incidents.
The serious injuries included one Southern staff member receiving damage to a fingertip while using a table saw and the other was a student on off-campus training sustaining a shotgun wound
to the foot.
Staff time lost to worker’s compensation totalled 1321 more than the previous year.
Stephen Conway In the report, chairman Nick Burrows and chief executive Stephen Conway said TasTAFE was focused on bringing tangible, long-term benefits to Tasmania.
“TasTAFE is now reaping the benefits of the organisational redesign process we undertook over the past year, and whilst still developing, is now operating as a contemporary organisation,”
they said in the report.
“The majority of these students have progressed to meaningful employment, gained promotions or taken up further study towards higher qualifications.”
TasTAFE offers 370 nationally accredited and industry-endorsed qualifications, with 81 per cent of students agreeing that training had prepared them well for work in the future.
A Certificate III was the most popular course for students to enrol in, followed by other non-award courses, Certificate II and Certificate IV.
