The New South Wales Government has announced today that it will allocate $285 million to scrap TAFE fees for 100,000 apprentices. Skillset applauds the announcement that the NSW Government will take on 100 per cent of the cost of courses for apprentices,
“This announcement makes the option of VET even more attractive to high school leavers, and will help to break the notion that VET education is second to university as an option for further education."

And the NSW Training Awards Apprentice of the Year Award goes to Skillset’s very own Mathew Harvey.
Mat started his Apprenticeship with PJL Group and has excelled in the company ever since. He is a wonderful advocate for Vocational Education and Training.
Congratulations Mat!

Tonight is the NSW Training Awards for Western Region.
Skillset has four finalists in the Apprentice of the Year Awards. Good luck to Laura Burgett, Joseph Duffy, Mathew Harvey and Kevin Sawdy.
Courtney Hogan has also been recognised as a finalist for Trainee of the Year.
