"Absolutely disgraceful move from the NSW Government and local member Michael Johnsen should be ashamed. Selling a TAFE campus is not the answer to creating regional jobs," said Stewart Little, CPSU NSW State Secretary.

Under state legislation, the purpose of TAFE NSW is to provide technical and further education that meets workforce and industry demands as well as ensuring access to disadvantaged students. TAFE's commercial competitors in the private training sector are not required to fulfil any social objectives.

Training for healthcare workers is about to go virtual for the first time as part of a new partnership between industry, TAFE and NSW Health.

Learning how to take a blood test will no longer need to be done in a real health setting. Instead, trainees including doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians and Indigenous health workers will be able to learn the procedure while fully immersed in a virtual hospital, including sound effects such as blipping machines.

NSW to trial its world-first virtual healthcare training technology TAFE NSW has partnered with NSW Health and industry to develop a virtual reality method for training health professionals in how to perform blood tests.

Vocational training leaders fear new subsidy at risk of being rorted Employer groups and vocational training leaders warn new subsidies for apprentices and trainees should not be taken up by existing workers.
