New regional committee to advise TAFE SA on skills needs and training opportunities on the Limestone Coast

TAFE SA’s new Regional Skills Advisory Committee has met on the Limestone Coast for the first time on the 8th of February 2023. The new initiative is part of TAFE SA’s ongoing commitment to the region’s education and training needs.

The committee consists of local industry, school, student and community organisation representatives, along with an employment services provider and Aboriginal community representative.
