Version of Record

In this paper, the role of TAFE (Technical and Further Education) and contemporary issues concerning TAFE colleges in Australia are analysed in terms of how TAFE colleges have contributed to support the ‘school to work’ transition of Australian youth. First, the institutional form of TAFE colleges is described and the outline of educational contents and method of TAFE is introduced. Second, referring to some surveys carried out by Australian researchers, two major roles of TAFE in supporting young people’s transition to work are empathised. One is the traditional role of TAFE as an organization of ‘lifelong learning’ in communities. The other is the contemporary role of TAFE as an organization of ‘tertiary education’. In conclusion, it is suggested that there are some serious issues concerning TAFE colleges. Chiefly the problems are about the over-loaded to roles of TAFE, deficit of finance and the out datedness of skills students learn at TAFE colleges.
