Wave Digital App Development

For more than six years, we have partnered with Chisholm Institute to imagine, design and evolve a platform that strengthens educator capability across Victoria’s TAFE sector.

What began in 2018 as a mobile and web app has grown into a scalable, institution-ready system that now supports more than 4,500 educators, with over 1,000+ new educators added each year.

Our most recent collaboration expanded Educator Passport with vocational competency mapping, single sign-on integration and improved reporting to support broader adoption and workforce planning.

At Wave, we value the creation of digital products that meet real-world complexity with thoughtful design, evidence-led decision making and technical rigour. Through co-design with educators, administrators and executives, we helped streamline compliance workflows, integrate with existing systems and ensure the product could scale across diverse institutional environments.

The platform is now used by Bendigo TAFE, Box Hill Institute, Kangan Institute, Melbourne Polytechnic, SuniTAFE, TAFE Gippsland, The Gordon, VETASSESS, Victoria University, and Swinburne University of Technology.

A big thank you to the Chisholm team for the continued collaboration. It’s been a privilege to help shape a platform that supports quality teaching and gives institutions a clearer, more confident view of their workforce capability.
