Goulburn Ovens TAFE plans to cut over 60 support staff roles despite a 10% increase in enrolments at its main campuses. The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) reports that the restructuring could impact 117 roles, including redeployments and job changes. The union's Victorian branch secretary, Sarah Roberts, warns that these job losses could have significant economic and educational consequences for northern Victoria. The union claims that teachers will not be able to manage a 30% cut to support staff roles. Despite the Victorian government investing over $2 billion in regional TAFEs since coming to power, the union is urging the government to intervene and save these jobs.
