Engineering returning to Uni campus
Federation TAFE will offer the Certificate III Engineering - Fabrication Trade course back on site at the campus in Horsham thanks to funding from the state government.
The education provider received $2.6 million to establish a new engineering learning space.
The campus on Baillie Street has been reconfigured to accommodate a new engineering workshop and ancillary facilities, with safety and sustainability elements to the design.
The new, fit-for-purpose facility with contemporary learning spaces and industry-standard equipment accommodates up to 15 students at a time.
Federation University Australia CEO of TAFE Darren Gray said they were happy to welcome engineering back on site at the campus.
"The new engineering learning space will enable those previously disadvantaged by distance to access quality local training and stay in the region to live and work," Mr Gray said.
"The significant investment means we can continue to grow Federation TAFE, help local industry thrive by addressing skills shortages and give our students a solid foundation to build a successful career.”
