Education sector SaaS player ReadyTech has been selected to provide a common student management system (SMS) across the Victorian TAFE Network.
With the potential to support more than 170,000 TAFE students across Victoria’s 11 TAFE institutes, the initiative will modernise enrolments, curriculum delivery and the end-to-end student journey through a unified platform.
This deal follows a multi-year, co-designed partnership with Bendigo Kangan Institute, Chisholm Institute and Melbourne PolyTechnic, where ReadyTech worked with educators and administrators to develop a solution that aimed to help institutions respond faster to evolving policy, workforce and learner expectations.
Marc Washbourne, chief executive and cofounder of ReadyTech, said the agreement reflected years of investment and collaboration in building an enterprise-grade platform for education.
“What began as a co-designed partnership with Bendigo Kangan Institute has evolved into a system-wide solution now trusted to power the future of the Victorian TAFE network,” he said.
“We are proud to be trusted as a long-term technology partner leading digital transformation in the next era of vocational training in Victoria.”
In 2024, ReadyTech unveiled plans to become one of Tasmania's largest tech employers through the expansion of its Launceston operations.
