The NSW Government today announced the Coffs Harbour electorate has received a share in the NSW Government’s $10 million investment in state-of-the-art technology for TAFE NSW classrooms, providing students with the best possible opportunity to learn.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this latest investment is part of a statewide program delivering technology upgrades to over 1500 learning spaces across 134 metropolitan, regional and rural TAFE NSW campuses this year.
The Coffs Harbour electorate has received a $40,000 investment, receiving over 30 new devices across the two Coffs Harbour campuses.
Each new late model computer will come equipped with a keyboard, mouse and a large 27-inch monitor with the capability to view several windows at once.
“The NSW Government is investing in new equipment at TAFE NSW campuses across the state to ensure students have the digital skills they need to gain employment,” Mr Singh said.
“The classroom asset refresh program is testament to the NSW Government’s commitment to TAFE NSW and delivering the pipeline of skilled workers industry needs.
“Upgrading technology across our statewide network of campuses is key to helping students get jobs, and supporting the NSW economy into the future.”
Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the investment is a prime example of how the NSW Government is investing in modern, industry-standard equipment to support quality educational outcomes.
“The new technology, which is faster and more powerful than before, enables students to access a wider range of computer applications and allows teachers to deliver the highest quality education and training,” Mr Lee said.
“The NSW Government is proud to invest in modern learning equipment to deliver the workforce of the future, and provide students with the digital literacy skills they need to hit the ground running once they graduate.”
