How does Outreach work?

What is TAFE Outreach?

TAFE Outreach programs have been operating in NSW communities for

over 30 years.

The programs are developed to meet local community needs and they aim

to remove barriers many have when accessing further education and training.

These barriers include an earlier negative educational experience, geographic location, and fear of formal education.

Outreach also partners with other government departments:

Department of Corrective Services by delivering PEET programs (Pathways to Education & Employment Training),

Department of Education and Training (DET) - a program to train mentors for the Plan-It-Youth secondary schools initiative.

Department of Education and Training (SACC) - Schools as Community Centres, where many Outreach programs are delivered to parents and local residents.

TAFE OUTREACH GOAL

The TAFE NSW Outreach Program is designed to provide an access point by which adults can re-enter education.

The Outreach Program aims to develop vocational skills that can lead to paid employment.

Develop courses of study that will provide alternative pathways

through the tertiary education system.

Offer a range of programs, including bridging, remedial, and introductory courses, to assist individuals to gain or enhance the skills necessary to find work.

Promote the most beneficial and educationally efficient relationship between TAFE Institutes and other educational institutions throughout the State.

The TAFE Thesaurus defines Outreach Courses as "courses designed for people who, for various reasons, find participation in further education difficult.

Enrolling in an Outreach course is easy.

Most of our courses are free so you don't have to worry about how you're going to pay for it.

Contact your local TAFE Coordinator to find out about current programs in your community.
