The significant contribution of independent skills training, higher education and international education providers is recognised by leaders across the political spectrum. This is due to the great contribution of Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia (ITECA) members and their leadership in the national policy debate
One of the great examples of member-driven advocacy is annual Independent Tertiary Education Parliamentary Forum which this year will be held on 14 November 2023 in Parliament House, Canberra.
This exclusive event is designed to empower leaders of independent skills training and higher education providers with an understanding of the national policy agenda and ITECA's role in shaping the reform debate.
