Our Co-Creation Workshops

In 2024, there were three rounds of Vision workshops (online and in person), twelve workshops in total. A total of 65 people participated in the co-creation process, many of whom were involved in all three rounds. 

We had representation from a variety of organisations, local community and government agencies take part. This included: 

• The Gordon staff
• People with disability and family members or carers
• Victorian TAFE Network staff in disability and access roles
• Disability Service Providers
• Disability Employment Service (DES) providers,
• Allied Health
• Business, Legal and Tourism sectors
• Advocacy groups
• Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions 
• Victorian Skills Authority 
• Office of TAFE Coordination and Delivery and 
• Local Government (Geelong and the surrounding areas)

From these robust collaborative discussions, a vision and goals for the Centre has emerged. Key themes identified during the workshops were:

• Culture
• Pathways
• Holistic student support
• Student Success
• Collaboration
• Capability, and
• Centre of Excellence Success

If you would like to join our next phase of co-creation, we welcome participation from those that have lived experience or are advocates for disability inclusion. Register your interest or contact us for a conversation:
