Swan Industry Training
Swan TAFE is aware that responsiveness, flexibility and efficiency are of paramount importance to industry as they consider their training needs. In response to this, Swan TAFE has developed Swan Industry Training.
Swan Industry Training provides a single point of contact within Swan TAFE for industry representatives who are looking to coordinate optimum training responses.
The team is responsible for meeting with the client and listening to the company situation before discussing the range of training options that would best suit their organisational needs. It is at this point that an ‘industry partnership’ begins.
As well as working with clients that contact Swan Industry Training direct, the team also actively seeks out new partnerships by attending industry forums and maintaining strong relationships with new apprenticeship centres and industry bodies.
