TAFE’s vital role in social and economic prosperity

Andrew Williamson is a seasoned executive leader in the TAFE sector. He and his family have recently moved to Adelaide from Melbourne. For Andrew, this is a return to where he grew up.
With over 20 years of experience in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, Andrew has held management and leadership roles in TAFE, university, technical college and government. Most recently, Andrew was an Executive Director at Holmesglen Institute, one of Victoria’s largest TAFEs. Andrew spent five years as head of the Victorian TAFE Association, the peak body for TAFEs and Dual Sector Universities.
A chef by trade, Andrew has a Bachelor Degree in Philosophy and Master Degree in Vocational Education and a Master Degree in Public Administration.
Andrew is recognised nationally and internationally as a leader and advocate in applied research in VET.

TAFEs – Australia’s public Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutes – are central and critical tertiary education providers vital to securing social and economic prosperity for individuals, businesses, industries and communities.
This presentation will explore this through the case study of the Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) at Holmesglen Institute, one of Victoria’s largest TAFEs. The VTC is one of only a handful tunnelling schools in the world. Designed with, by and for industry, the state of the art facility delivers contemporary training for the thousands of workers on Victoria’s $81bn pipeline of civil construction projects. Holmesglen also has an MOU with TAFESA to support skills development for the two tunnelled sections of Adelaide’s North South Corridor project.
The VTC is an example of where true, deep partnerships between TAFE, industry and government can produce remarkable results.
