More information
A TAFE Teacher provides training in a TAFE College. You might specialise in vocational education or offer other courses or training programs. TAFE Teachers work with industry to ensure students are developing necessary skills and competencies for the workplace. You might prepare learning materials, deliver training in a group setting or develop online learning modules.
TAFE Teachers need to be able to work with a range of learners and accommodate their learning styles. Personal skills are important and you should be able to communicate well. It’s important that you are organised and can manage your time. TAFE Teachers deal with multiple students at one time so multitasking skills are essential.
