Skilling the Bay
0001-01-01
Skilling the Bay is a long‑standing regional initiative that has supported the Geelong and Barwon communities since 2012, responding to ongoing economic shifts and changes in local industry. Led by The Gordon Institute of TAFE, the initiative is delivered in partnership with Deakin University and supported by the Victorian Department of Education.
At its heart, Skilling the Bay brings together educators, community organisations, and industry partners to create meaningful opportunities for people across the region. Through flagship initiatives such as the Geelong Tertiary Futures Program and a suite of World of Work programs, Skilling the Bay supports people to navigate education and employment with confidence by strengthening pathways, building capability, and connecting learners of all ages to sustainable, decent work.
