Victorians will have access to more free TAFE courses across in-demand industries like emergency healthcare, mental health, family violence and agriculture in 2023.
Monbulk MP James Merlino said there has never been a better time to start studying at TAFE, with four free courses launched next year.
“Free TAFE has helped more than 122,000 Victorians embark on a rewarding new career,” he said.
“We’re adding courses in in-demand industries to make sure students can get a great job straight out of their training.”
The courses include a Diploma of Emergency Health Care course from Victoria University and Swinburne University to qualify students in non-emergency patient transport, a certificate III in Production Horticulture and a Graduate Certificate in Client Assessment and Case Management.
Minister for Training Gayle Tierney said the government is delivering a world-class workforce.
“Adding critical health courses to Free TAFE will boost our workforce to get every Victorian the care they deserve.” she said.
The short courses include mental health focuses, agricultural chemical handling and electric and hybrid automotive maintenance.
A full list of more than 70 free TAFE courses can be found at freetafe.vic.gov.au.
