Latest edition – May 2017
The May 2017 edition of Training Matters features an article written by our new Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery MLC, which provides an interesting insight into the key focus areas of the McGowan Government for the training sector. Along with regular items including industry profiles and professional development news, other stories include a catch up with some of last year's WA Training Awards winners and a round-up of what's happening in our five WA TAFE colleges including more award winners. We also celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Read Write Now literacy program and take a look at the exciting lineup of speakers and presentations for this year's Training Providers Forum.
