The State Government's record investment in TAFE has delivered $580,000 in new cutting-edge technology to Central Regional TAFE's Geraldton campus, supporting local students to learn vital skills in automotive automation and engineering.
The equipment was delivered as part of the State Government's $25 million investment in new state-of-the-art equipment being rolled out across Western Australia's TAFE network.
Geraldton TAFE is now able to offer industry-relevant training using the latest technology across a range of automation and engineering-related courses thanks to the new equipment.
Valued at $338,000, the engine management and UniTrain equipment is a computer-based training and experimentation system that covers basic and advanced electrical engineering and electronics.
Valued at $242,000 and used for the machining of metal parts, the eight new centre lathes will be able to manufacture cylindrical shapes from a range of materials including steels and plastics.
Central Regional TAFE received $3 million through the Modern TAFE Equipment Program.
Other new equipment at the Geraldton campus includes Nursing Anne simulators, an eight-tonne excavator, wheel loader and integrated tractor tool carrier.
TAFE colleges throughout WA are benefiting from the State Government's four-year program to provide new and upgraded training equipment to ensure students can learn on contemporary equipment that meets industry standards.
