Episode Details

TasTAFE is set to slash 118 full-time jobs by 2030, including 63 teaching roles, as part of a sweeping financial overhaul aimed at saving $13 million. Coupled with a potential 7% fee hike starting in 2027 and reallocation of election promises, the plan targets $15.46 million in new revenue. Opposition leader Josh Willie warns cuts will harm vital vocational training, while CEO Norman Baker insists TasTAFE remains financially healthy—with $45 million in savings goals over four years—and is exploring federal/state revenue boosts. Despite last year’s 12 course cuts, no further changes are planned, as current offerings align with workforce needs, and the fee increase remains pending board approval.
