THE State Government’s Free TAFE initiative will grow to more than 60 courses in 2022 with seven new courses added, including three new courses on offer at Hamilton’s South West TAFE.

Training and skills minister, Gayle Tierney recently announced the new courses that were headlined by the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, giving jobseekers access to world-class training and boosting the veterinary industry by alleviating workforce demands in metropolitan and regional Victoria.

The new additions are part of a regular review of the Free TAFE list, ensuring training meets key government priority areas and skills demands while also boosting the Victorian economy.
