The NSW Government has announced a $1 million upgrade to Muswellbrook TAFE.
The TAFE will receive
two new connected learning classrooms, new equipment and a new learning
space to offer fit-for-purpose hair, beauty and business training on campus.
New equipment will include gas welders, welding bay extraction fans, and auto-mechanical teaching equipment.
Speaking in the town on Wednesday, Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the new facilities will
support a more integrated learning experience for locals.
“Currently hair, beauty and business students have to drive from the main Muswellbrook TAFE campus to attend classes at the council-owned Tertiary Education Centre. This new investment will ensure students can access modern, industry-grade facilities right here at their local campus,” Mr Lee said.
Initial planning has already commenced on the $1 million Muswellbrook facility with construction works to begin this year.
The new equipment will be delivered by mid-2021 and the
connected learning classrooms will be completed by mid-2022.
