Donna Davis MP, State Member for Parramatta has announced TAFE NSW local enrolments are now open, supporting new opportunities for locals to gain skills in construction, information technology, and manufacturing.

“TAFE NSW is the top training body in our state, and qualifications from TAFE NSW are a game changer for school leavers, job seekers, people looking to upskill and those wanting to start new businesses and careers.”

“The Minns Government is dedicated to rebuilding TAFE NSW – starting by supporting locals to take up training opportunities at their local campuses.”

“We’ve seen massive growth in demand across key industries, now is the time for locals to seize opportunities, with TAFE NSW delivering in demand skills training through courses in Joinery, Cyber Security, and Cabinet Making.”

Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education Tim Crakanthorp said the Minns Government was committed to helping every person in New South Wales build the skills they need in the modern economy.

“TAFE NSW has hundreds of courses to choose from across a range of modern industries to help you gain a nationally recognised qualification in your area of interest,” Minister Crakanthorp said.

“With Semester 2 about to commence, there’s never been a better time to discover the range of opportunities at your local TAFE NSW campus. This includes the different study options to suit your needs, such as online and face-to-face study.”
