A new agreement between Â鶹ֱ²¥ and TAFE will provide more pathways for students in the Kalgoorlie-Goldfields region wanting to study at the tertiary level.<\/p>\n
The recent amalgamation of TAFE WA regional colleges into North Regional TAFE, Central Regional TAFE and South Regional TAFE led Curtin to consolidate what were previously separate TAFE agreements.<\/p>\n
The new agreement means university pathways that were previously only available to metropolitan TAFE students will now be available to students enrolled at Central Regional TAFE, which includes the Kalgoorlie-Goldfields region.<\/p>\n
Â鶹ֱ²¥ Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry said the agreement would offer new opportunities for TAFE students living in the Kalgoorlie-Goldfields region to pursue further studies at Curtin.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a great collaboration between Curtin and TAFE because it will make tertiary education at Curtin more accessible for TAFE students in the Kalgoorlie-Goldfields region,\u201d Professor Terry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder this agreement, Central Regional TAFE is able to provide its students pathways into a selection of Curtin courses, including mining, science and engineering, commerce, education and nursing. This includes the courses that are now available at the Kalgoorlie campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Central Regional TAFE Managing Director Bill Swetman said TAFE was very excited to formalise, via the articulation agreement, the pathway opportunities into bachelor courses at Â鶹ֱ²¥.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis in turn strengthens the educational precinct created in Kalgoorlie, which includes Eastern Goldfields College, Curtin WA School of Mines and Central Regional TAFE,\u201d Mr Swetman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is our priority to ensure a highly skilled workforce for the future, and by providing students with vocational outcomes via these articulation programs we can address the outward migration of students from the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn particular, we envisage the articulation agreement supporting the growth of our resources sector training, and we are working actively with Curtin to develop pathway programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to continuing to work closely with Â鶹ֱ²¥ in further developing the education and training opportunities available in the Goldfields and ensuring a skilled workforce for local industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, students who complete specified TAFE Award programs and who demonstrate Curtin\u2019s English language proficiency will be eligible to study at Â鶹ֱ²¥. Credit for Recognised Learning may be available for some programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
