HIGH fashion is normally associated with names like New York, Paris and Monte Carlo, but we will be soon adding Smithfield to the list if Christopher Daod has his way.

$710M TO ADDRESS SKILLS SHORTAGE

THE graphic skills shortage in NSW will be addressed by a new $710M investment in vocational training providers.
 
It means more providers and more qualifications for more regions will feature in the 2023-24 skills provider contracts.
 
The State Government investment will allow 556 approved providers to deliver subsidised training in priority qualifications that address the skills needs in NSW.
 
The single biggest investment is being directed to TAFE NSW, receiving more than two thirds of the total funding under these skills provider contracts. This meets the entirety of the TAFE application for funding.
 
Capacity has been increased for qualifications in emerging industries as skills for the jobs of the future, including in Wind Power Generation and Automotive Electric Vehicle Technology.
 
New contracts will increase capacity in the Diploma of Nursing in Sydney and now for all regional areas for increased demand in hospitals and aged care.
 
Providers are being funded to allow for the state-wide coverage of Certificate III and IV School Based Education and Support, and Diploma of School Based Education and Care.
 
This funding also means the Diploma of Applied Technologies, advanced engineering and advanced electrical qualifications will become more accessible.
