Yamba is set to benefit from enhanced vocational education and training opportunities with the NSW Government today announcing the construction and establishment of a permanent TAFE NSW presence – a first for the community.   
 
Minister responsible for TAFE NSW Adam Marshall joined Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis to formally commence the construction of a state-of-the-art $5.88 million TAFE Connected Learning Centre (CLC) in Yamba, with the pair turning the first sod of soil onsite.   Mr Marshall said the new facility would be a game-changer for the region, empowering students with greater education and training opportunities than ever before.  
 
“This new $5.88 million TAFE Connected Learning Centre will transform education delivery in Yamba and across the Lower Clarence Valley region,” Mr Marshall said.  
 
“For the first time ever students in Yamba will be able to access TAFE’s world-class education locally, ensuring they receive the training they need to become job ready and meet the skills needs of their local community.  
 
“The NSW Government is committed to strengthening TAFE’s presence across rural and regional NSW and I am absolutely delighted this new facility will provide better access to education for students and help produce more skilled workers in the region.” 
 
Mr Gulaptis said the new TAFE centre would make a real difference to the local community.  
 
“The future Yamba CLC will equip students with the skills, knowledge and connections to employers needed to support our local economy,” Mr Gulaptis said.  
 
“Local residents have been calling for expanded educational opportunities for a long time and today I am thrilled the NSW Government has listened to that message and established a permanent TAFE NSW presence here in Yamba.” 
 
The Yamba CLC is one of fourteen CLCs being rolled out across the State.  To take a digital tour of a CLC visit www.tafensw.edu.au/clc
