WA govt partners with Ajilon for TAFE reform

The WA Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD) has selected Ajilon to deliver its new student management system at TAFE.

The partnership has been formed in the midst of ongoing reforms to WA’s TAFE sector, as well as increased scrutiny over the delivery of a new student management system under the government’s Student Business Process Reform Project (SBPRP).  

Based on figures projected in the initial request for proposal (RFP), the two-year project is estimated to be in excess of $3.4 million of the total contract value.

SBPRP is designed to replace a suite of bespoke systems that collectively meet some of the current student management requirements of the training sector. The aim of the reform is to deliver an off-the-shelf system that caters to new and emerging needs of the industry, with as little customisation as possible.

“As the education sector continues to adapt to new technologies and undergo rapid reforms, it is vital to ensure a smooth transition from legacy systems so critical data and know-how isn’t lost along the way,” said Charandeep Chhabra, general manager of sales and solutions at Ajilon.

“Ajilon is committed to supporting organisations in their digital transformation journey so they can effectively thrive in today’s innovation-led economy.”

Ajilon was appointed based on the company’s track record in project and change management, the team’s robust expertise and its organisational capacity.

The latest partnership with DTWD follows recent wins in the Australian education market, including a multiyear contract secured with the WA Department of Education as well as a project management deal with the Department of Education Services.
