St George TAFE

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (22:55:09):

Recently I was at St George TAFE with the Assistant Minister for Skills, the Hon. Adam Marshall, to turn the first sod at the $4.2 million facility. The works are delivering on the New South Wales Government's plan to ensure that TAFE NSW is well equipped for the future so it can continue to deliver high-quality, industry-relevant and innovative training that leads to jobs in local communities. When completed, the state-of-the-art specialist health facility will provide a contemporary simulated learning environment and enable co-locating of campus training in nursing, and ageing and disability. The multimillion‑dollar investment in education is a boon for the St George community. The new facility will equip students with job-ready skills that local employers are calling for in the St George area. The investment in St George TAFE is a huge win.
