<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi Folks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">At our Industry Dinner there was a lot of discussion about auspicing arrangements, and I have received a number of queries and phone calls on the topic since Kangan TAFE withdrew from auspicing IDM in schools.
They will still take students on their campus, but this was certainly not an option for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The not-for-profit, Inner Melbourne VET Cluster, is gearing up to offer schools their services, and have a number of experienced teachers writing curriculum for them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would strongly recommend you get in touch with Louise (</span><span style="color:#1F497D">9686 2354)
</span><span style="color:#1F497D">or Penny if you are interested, as they have a compulsory information meeting for VET Coordinators coming up on 14<sup>th</sup> Oct. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I can’t really give you much information, except to report almost all TAFEs and RTO’s I contacted are no longer auspicing in school programs as the cost of compliance requirements is too onerous.
