Skills training in Byron Bay will receive an unprecedented boost with a suite of in-demand courses set to be available locally for the first time at the new multi-million-dollar TAFE NSW Connected Learning Centre.

Minister for Regional Youth Ben Franklin said the Liberal and Nationals Government’s investment in the new facility will deliver training aligned to the Northern Rivers’ growing creative, retail, tourism and hospitality, and screen and media sectors.

“The new TAFE NSW Connected Learning Centre will provide Byron Bay locals with access to over 40 industry-aligned courses when it opens its doors in July,” Mr Franklin said.

“As TAFE NSW’s first-ever presence in Byron Bay, this Connected Learning Centre will significantly enhance training opportunities for Byron Bay students and provide employers with the pipeline of talent they need.

“Students can kick-start a rewarding career in retail, screen and media, hospitality, and business technology by enrolling in these courses – without having to travel to study.”

Minster for Skills and Training Alister Henskens said the new Connected Learning Centre in Byron Bay was part of the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government’s plan to expand the presence of TAFE NSW in regional areas.

“The NSW Liberal and Nationals Government has invested a record $3.1 billion in skills and training this financial year to help people get the skills they need for the jobs they want,” Mr Henskens said.

“We have a vision for TAFE to provide quality training for regional students and a pipeline of skilled workers for local employers. Our long term economic plan for TAFE will ensure Byron Bay and regional NSW continues to move forward.”

The Connected Learning Centre will deliver blended, facilitated, and online learning – backed up by Mobile Training Units which will provide the practical training TAFE NSW is known for.

The new courses to be offered in Semester 2, 2023 will open for enrolments or enquiries via www.tafensw.edu.au from May onwards.
