Wyong TAFE has received a funding boost of $741,000 to fund digital devices and Wi-Fi networks over the next two years.
It is one of 68 TAFE NSW campuses to share in a $74M digital infrastructure upgrade.
The multi-million-dollar investment includes upgrading the outdated 2009 network, enhancing connectivity across the campuses and providing 14,900 new devices for students, employees and teaching spaces.
The upgrades support modern educational needs in hybrid learning environments, giving all students access to the technology they need to succeed regardless of their location.
Member for Wyong David Harris said the upgrades would make learning more accessible and convenient, allowing students and teachers to easily access information and resources for studies and help students learn and succeed in an academic setting.
“The upgrades also complement the new specialist animal studies facility which is currently being built on site,” he said.
Minister for Skills, TAFE, and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan said investing in technology-enriched campuses would enable TAFE NSW to better deliver skills for critical and emerging industries.
“Investing in TAFE NSW ensures that the capacity to deliver skills for critical and emerging industries for a modern economy is increased, and key workers in priority industries are trained to build a robust, scalable, and skilled workforce,” he said.
