Today, Dr Hugh McDermott MP has announced that local TAFE NSW enrolments are open. These enrolments give locals the opportunity to gain skills in transport and logistics, automotive, and healthcare.

Dr McDermott MP said, “We’ve seen significant growth in Western Sydney over the last five years across key industries, with the region’s health care and social assistance sector growing by 16,400 workers alone.”

“TAFE NSW is the top training body in our state, and qualifications from TAFE NSW are a great opportunity 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 Western Sydney locals to take up training opportunities our local campuses, such as Wetherill Park TAFE.”

“We’ve seen significant growth in demand across key industries, now is the time for locals to seize these opportunities, with TAFE NSW delivering in demand skills training through courses in Supply Chain Operations, Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology, and Nursing.”

Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, The Hon. Tim Crakanthorp MP, 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.”

TAFE NSW Wetherill Park features a transport technology centre, health and nursing clinics, mechatronics and robotics workshops, and a commercial training kitchen.
