People from Nelson Bay will have access to the training they need to get a job and get ahead with the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government announcing a new local TAFE campus will be built.
\nPremier Gladys Berejiklian was today joined by Liberal Candidate for Port Stephens Jaimie Abbott for the announcement.
\n\u201cThe NSW Liberals & Nationals are driving a massive expansion of TAFE\u2019s footprint across rural and regional NSW, with Nelson Bay set to benefit from a new and state-of-the-art TAFE campus,\u201d Ms Berejiklian said.
\n\u201cTAFE campuses are the beating hearts of our regional communities and provide access to the education and training people need to get a job and get ahead.
\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is yet another significant investment in the future of rural and regional communities.\u201d
\nMs Abbott said she was delighted locals in Nelson Bay would soon have access to their very own TAFE.
\n\u201cThis announcement is an absolute game-changer for the people of Nelson Bay who until now have never had a major TAFE presence in town,\u201d Ms Abbott said.
\n\u201cFor the first time ever people in Nelson Bay will be able to study a broad range of courses at TAFE locally, improving their ability to get the education they need to get a job and get ahead.
\n\u201cAs it stands many locals have to travel for an hour to access the courses they wish to study at either Maitland or Newcastle.
\n\u201cThis is about giving people the chance to study right here locally and removing barriers to education and training.\u201d
\nThe NSW Liberals & Nationals have already delivered 14 new or upgraded TAFE campuses in regional NSW since 2017. These campuses have on average tripled course offerings (compared to an existing facility) and more than doubled student enrolments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
