Construcciones Yamaro: $500,000 investment elevates engineering education in NSW

By

With the completion of the $500,000 upgrades to engineering training facilities at TAFE NSW Griffith, the welding and metal fabrication sector in the Riverina region is poised for a much-needed boost.

New South Wales Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education Steve Whan said the investment aligns with the strong demand for skilled metal fabricators and welders in the region, driven by significant infrastructure projects such as the $250 million Griffith Base Hospital redevelopment.

“Skilled engineers play a critical role in building the future of communities like Griffith, and it’s great to see TAFE NSW creating a pipeline of homegrown welders and metal fabricators,” said Minister Whan. “The investment in these engineering facilities, which includes new welders and a hydraulic press, will ensure graduates continue to have the job-ready skills and experience to support local industry, the economy, and the community.”

“Additionally, communities like Griffith will be the beneficiaries of the recently signed landmark National Skills Agreement between the Commonwealth and NSW Government.

“The five-year agreement places TAFE NSW at the heart of the vocational education and training sector, providing up to $3.81 billion in funding for NSW to help expand access to skills training in communities across New South Wales, including the Riverina.”

TAFE NSW Griffith head teacher of metal fabrication and welding Franc Prestia said that the manufacturing sector in Griffith supports around 3,000 jobs. Additionally, TAFE NSW engineering graduates are highly sought after in the local agriculture and food processing industries.

“We are in constant contact with local industry to ensure we meet their training needs,” said Prestia. “TAFE NSW Griffith has seen solid growth in engineering apprentice numbers in recent years, and the upgrade to our workshop will ensure we continue delivering the job-ready skills employers expect and deserve.”
