What does the rest of 2020 look like?As we live and work in this new Covid-19 environment, students will continue to be welcomed back on campus and into training facilities, as long as their teachers can comply with workplace checklists outlined in the TasTAFE COVID-19 Safety Plan. All TasTAFE sites are now open to students and the public, subject to the following three conditions:
room capacities are adhered to at all times 1.5m separation between people is adhered where possible shared equipment is sanitised between uses.
This also includes the use of learning hubs, libraries, student common areas and cafeterias.
Apprentice training – delivery methodsAttached is a table outlining the delivery methods TasTAFE is offering for apprentice groups between now and the end of the year. Apprentices will continue to have a combination of on-campus small group training, workplace projects, online theory, distance learning and workplace visits.Not all apprentice groups are listed on this table, so if you have any questions or concerns about the delivery of training for your apprentice, or there has been no recent communication about training dates, please contact your apprentice’s Portfolio Manager as your first point of call.
