NSW/ACT Divisional Report Industry Collaboration with TAFE NSW I had the privilege of representing the Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia (SCLAA) at the TAFE NSW Open Day in August, which took place at the Ultimo campus. We at the SCLAA take immense pride in our partnership with TAFE NSW. The open day achieved remarkable success, drawing a high turnout of prospective students, families, and friends. The event included program presentations, campus tours, interactive demonstrations, meeting faculty staff, showcasing student projects, career guidance, Q&A sessions and much more. There was an immense interest in Supply Chain & Logistics education offered by the Supply Chain and eCommerce Team at TAFE Sydney Region, as well as curiosity about the SCLAA. The ongoing collaboration between TAFE NSW and SCLAA, resulted in a special membership discount offer for all TAFE students who choose to become SCLAA members. TAFE NSW’s vision is ‘To be the leading provider of lifelong learning, meeting the evolving needs of industry and learners in communities across NSW’. TAFE NSW
works closely with industry and local communities to develop and deliver industry leading training solutions. TAFE NSW offers a range of nationally accredited courses in Supply Operations, Driving Operations, Procurement and Contracting, Freight Forwarding, Customs Broking and Supply Chain Management to name a few. I would like to express my appreciation to TAFE NSW Ultimo for their collaborative efforts in promoting this partnership. Mary Solimon NSW/ACT Committee
