The NSW Government is set to invest $5.4M to upgrade the campus infrastructure at Wyong TAFE and improve digital connectivity to support the skills needs of the community.
The investment is part of a $300M state-wide program delivering upgraded facilities and equipment to more than 120 TAFE NSW campuses across the state this financial year.
Wyong TAFE will receive a new specialist animal studies facility and new digital devices for teachers and students.
Member for Wyong David Harris said Wyong TAFE education qualifications are an effective and efficient learning pathway for students to evolve into highly competent industry-ready graduates.
“When students learn their craft or trade using industry-standard equipment and high-quality technology, they are much more likely to graduate with the kind of job-ready skills that employers are looking for,” he said.
“Wyong has a long history of animal related industry through its rich rural heritage.”
Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education Steve Whan said students and teachers need to have functional classrooms and access to equipment to learn the skills they need to be job-ready.
“This investment ensures TAFE NSW is well-placed to meet the educational and employment needs of the local community,” he said.
“The NSW Labor Government’s continued investment in TAFE NSW will improve educational outcomes and support the state’s critical skills needs.
“Stories about neglected classrooms don’t help to attract the people we need to see taking on training or teaching.
“The NSW Government is doing something about it.”
