The Victorian Government has just announced the remaining 10 priority courses that will be fee-free next year.

It was revealed on May 1st in the 2018 Victorian State Budget that the Vic Government will be putting $172 million towards funding education. The aim of this fee free scheme was created to fill the state’s skills shortage.

The initiative has been created in order to fill the industry gaps that are prominent within vital skills areas in Victoria. This Free TAFE Scheme will begin on the 1st of January, 2019.


On the 16st of August, leader of the Labor party Premier Daniel Andrews confirms ten more priority TAFE courses that will be fee-free, commencing next year.


New Fee-Free Scheme TAFE Industry Areas


These new foundational sectors all encompass crucial areas of practical skill that need more workers and require a substantial boost in interest. Find out more about Victorian TAFE here.

Security


Information Technology

And like I said when we announced the first 20 courses…

because they’re all in our growing ‘priority’ industries, you can be pretty sure that if you graduate with one of these qualifications, you’ll have a job waiting for you at the end of it.

-Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria
