Holmesglen TAFE, Case Study

Pioneering Industry Partner Program

In 1995, Morris launched the Industry Partner Program at Holmesglen TAFE, a revolutionary concept at the time. Final-year students were paired with industry partners, working one day per week while basing their entire curriculum around real-world projects. This immersive learning model led to a remarkable 90% post-graduation employment rate, setting a new standard for vocational education in Australia.

Shift: From classroom theory to hands-on industry experience.

The result? Holmesglen’s Industry Partner Program became the blueprint for vocational training nationwide.
