Mobile TAFE units to train next generation in Victoria

Key points

• Two mobile training units will bring practical courses to First Nations learners in Gippsland and north-west Victoria. A $2.46 million federal investment is funding the project, which is expected to support 600 learners each year.
• The units will be fitted with training simulators, computers and off-grid power, and are expected to be operational by 2028. They will travel to at least 17 regional and remote communities, offering courses in energy, construction, agriculture and land management.
• Federal Skills and Training Minister Andrew Giles said the units would help build local workforces without learners needing to travel to city centres.
