TAFE NSW Moruya and Batemans Bay are set to throw open their doors to prospective students next week at the first-ever InfoFest.
It comes as a recent study by TAFE NSW of the Eurobodalla and South Coast regions forecast jobs growth in the health and community services as well as the tourism and experience services sectors over the next two years.
TAFE NSW Regional General Manager Kerry Penton said the Jobs of the Future report predicted significant growth in full-time employment opportunities in the aged and disabled care and childcare sectors.
Other career areas tipped to enjoy employment growth in the region included project builder and chef.
“Caring for our young and elderly is critical to the functioning of any community,” Ms Penton said.

“With more than 1200 face-to-face and online courses available for 2019, and with current and future job prospects for the Eurobodalla looking bright, I encourage the community to visit TAFE NSW to find out how you can upskill or reskill to pursue employment opportunities.”
