Training experience

Kimberley TAFE is the largest training provider and longest operating vocational training organisation in the Kimberley. We have a commitment to the training of Aboriginal people in this region, and offer 120 qualifications. We currently work with 4,000 students of whom 54% are Aboriginal people.

Kimberley TAFE has well developed, long standing systems and processes that work in concert with those of job service providers, community-based organisations and industry employers. Through these relationships we have been able to collaborate on a number of work readiness and personal development programs with organisations associated with Indigenous training and employment.

Kimberley TAFE delivers a specialised program 'Reading the country', which works with Indigenous people to share, teach and promote traditional knowledge. It has been delivering training to the Kimberley Ranger Program for the past 4 years at Certificate II level and more recently at Certificate III and IV level in Conservation and Land Management. The program gets people working on country, and provides employment and skills training through practical work and TAFE qualifications. It has many flow-on benefits including improved social cohesion in communities with rangers emerging as positive role models.

Recent experience

Kimberley TAFE has delivered cultural heritage management training to an Indigenous group within the last 12 months (valid at October 2011).
