Bass electorate vocational education and training
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (10:03): It was wonderful to have the Minister for Skills and TAFE Gayle Tierney visit my electorate, with a lot happening in the skills space. The vocational major is incredibly popular at Bass Coast College, and we welcome the Minister for Education to visit, meet students and see the career pathways forming that can lead to good local jobs. Bass Coast Health is partnering with TAFE Gippsland on a training pilot, and I am very pleased that Chisholm is accepting enrolments in five free TAFE courses for face-to-face learning. Bass Coast Adult Learning is an energy hub with courses on offer, recognised also with statewide awards. There is still more to do, and our government is committed to making a fit-for-purpose network of skills opportunities in the Bass Coast.
