Abstract	The demographic changes in Australia's labor market present challenges for technical and further education (TAFE) institutes. Within TAFE institutes, in which the teaching workforce is older than the overall national labor force, the imminent departure of many teachers endangers its prime asset - its skill and knowledge base. This report examines the approaches managers and leaders in 16 TAFE institutes have undertaken to sustain, develop and renew their workforce and build their organization's knowledge. It finds that TAFE managers now recognize that maintaining and developing their organization's skill base is imperative, but that finding approaches to sustain TAFE in the longer term requires more attention. ( The support document for this report is also available. See ED495185.] (Contains 2 tables.) (Author).
