Challenges and Opportunities
Jon Osborn29th February 2013
Growing university participation rates
Source: Universities Australia 2013
Total university enrolments doubled in 15 years (13% p.a. growth)
But: at a cost to Government …
Commonwealth Government funding:about $10 billion pa growing at about 10% pa
UTAS response to the squeezeBIG CHANGES
• Strong business focus
• Big research agenda
• Big growth agenda
• School mergers: large business units
• Curriculum reviews: efficiency / affordability
• Large investments in large classes for large returns …
Reflections on our industry sector ….Small industry, and with workforce capability requirements distributed:• horizontally across an array of sectors• vertically from basic spatial literacy skills to advanced
surveying, spatial sciences, systems development and systems management
The S&SS industry ….
A “matrix” of education and training demand ….

Graduate Diploma of Land Surveying
• About 90% retention from the 3-year degree into the GradDipLandSurveying.
• Expecting 20 students in the GradDip in 2015: Professional Experience places will be needed!
• This 3+1 program is resilient to small enrolments.
How does this fit with the industry….
Minor and Major in BSc.GradCert, GradDip and Masters coursework

Some options – but not yet substantive
Not UTAS priority
UTAS is well positioned to meet some of this demand

But … current discussions in Tasmania:
• How do we ensure education and training to support all sectors?• How do we ensure access from all workplaces, across the State?• How do we achieve efficiencies through growth and innovative course
delivery?• How do we recruit into the BSurvSpSc• What role UTAS?• What role TAFE sector?• What role K-12 schools and colleges?• What role Private Sector providers?• What role interstate/international providers?
Thanks.
