This conference was designed around two key themes: (1) positioning TAFE to meet the challenges of the global marketplace; and (2) one tertiary sector: implications for domestic and international markets. Other issues addressed at the conference were: implications for skill development as Australia emerges from a global financial crisis; a coalescence of government reforms that may be rewriting fundamental aspects of vocational education in Australia; and concerns about a 'crisis' for international students in Australia.
