School leavers and jobseekers in Moruya now have access to thousands of free course places in the NSW Government funded Summer Skills, Lockdown Learning, and Job Trainer programs at TAFE NSW.
TAFE NSW is offering free training in courses aligned to meet the skills needs of businesses in NSW, such as aviation, construction, cyber security and hospitality.
TAFE NSW Managing Director Steffen Faurby said more than 20,000 people have already enrolled in fee-free Lockdown Learning courses, with almost 10,000 people studying with TAFE NSW for the first time.
“TAFE NSW has assisted thousands of people with free training to upskill themselves or their staff, enhance their job prospects, or begin retraining for a new career,” Mr Faurby said.
“With HSC exams underway, Summer Skills offers school leavers free short courses to upskill over the summer months, in courses such as Medical Terminology, Design and Build a Website, and Retail Customer Service.”
TAFE NSW Head Teacher of Hospitality Peter O’Kelly said the Statement of Attainment in Hospitality (Barista Skills) is a free Summer Skills course that allows students to launch a career as a barista in the fast-paced hospitality industry.
“TAFE NSW is offering many of these courses via online learning or virtual classrooms, which means that no matter where you are located you can take up the opportunity to boost your employability and gain new skills,” Mr O’Kelly said.
“The Statement of Attainment in Hospitality (Barista Skills) is being offered at the local TAFE NSW Moruya, and is a great opportunity for school leavers to learn practical and customer-focused skills.
“Students will learn how to extract espresso and texture milk according to beverage type, combine and serve a variety of espresso beverages, hygiene procedures, as well as transferrable skills such as how to multi-task and time management.”
