Our path to 2030 begins now!

Bendigo Kangan Institute’s ambitious 2030 Strategic Plan is here. We’re on a mission to become Australia’s leading skills provider, driving growth that impacts communities, industries, and careers. It’s time to turn ambition into action. At Bendigo Kangan Institute (BKI), we're gearing up for a bold new chapter, we are well underway on an incredible journey that will shape our future in ways we’ve never imagined. 

Our big vision

The 2030 Strategic Plan is our collective vision for a dynamic and impactful future. We are setting our sights on bold vision: to become Australia’s leading skills provider by 2030. We are focused on growth that creates real, meaningful change, drive by our purpose: to change lives through the power of education and skills. This isn’t a distant dream; it’s the future we’re building right now, and it’s within our reach.

Growth for impact

At the heart of this strategy lies the concept of “growth for impact.” Every step we take is about creating positive, sustainable change. We are not focused on expanding for the sake of numbers; we want to grow in a way that benefits our people, communities, and all our stakeholders. It’s about growth that creates lasting impact—growth that matters.

The big change

So, what’s changing? We are leaning into our unique position as an integrated skills provider. We’re bringing together all our business: Kangan Institute, Bendigo TAFE, VETASSESS and e-Works and the incredible elements of BKI—our talented people, our expertise, and our diverse business areas—into a cohesive, connected ecosystem. Collaboration is key to creating the kind of impact we want to see. 

What will it look like?

As we move toward 2030, expect to see Growth for Impact permeate everything we do. Students will enjoy a seamless experience with flexible, cutting-edge training options tailored to their lives and careers. Industries and businesses will gain access to innovative solutions to address workforce challenges, shaping the future of work in real-time. Governments will see us as a trusted, capable partner in driving systemic change and improving the workforce landscape. Our people will have opportunities to grow, develop new skills, and thrive in their career with BKI.

The four pillars that power us

Our path to 2030 is anchored in four powerful pillars that will guide us toward achieving our vision of growth and impact:

 

Everyone plays a role

This journey is one we take together. Every team member, partner, and stakeholder plays a crucial role in turning this vision into reality. Every contribution is valuable, whether directly engaging with students, working behind the scenes in operations, or fostering partnerships that fuel innovation. The success of our 2030 plan depends on all of us bringing our best to the table and aligning our efforts toward a common goal.

We're making this happen

The road to 2030 won’t be easy, but it will be worth every step. Together, we’re ready to build a better future, one that is inclusive, impactful, and sustainable. 2030 is closer than we think—and we’re all part of making it happen.
