"This investment in world-class connected facilities will link local students with industry qualified TAFE NSW teachers connecting from delivery spaces, including specialist facilities able to livestream practical demonstrations across the state," Ms Mackinnon said.

"For example, a student studying veterinary nursing in Goulburn could enhance their learning experience by connecting to live virtual sessions hosted by a TAFE NSW teacher from another region or city, who specialises in the use of specific equipment or techniques.

"This means more flexible training options to meet growing skills demand across the region in industries including; health, screen and media, construction trades, hospitality, and tourism.

"This investment forms part of an initiative to build 200 high-tech, modern learning spaces to support virtual learning across TAFE NSW campuses by May next year," Mrs Tuckerman said.
