$16.9 million Hospitality and Tourism Training Centre opens in Perth
South Metropolitan TAFE's Mandurah campus is now home to a new state-of-the-art hospitality and tourism training facility.
The $16.9 million facility will train chefs, baristas, front-of-house staff and event managers, with training to include commercial cookery, tourism and event management.
The facility will give students access to practical, on-the-job training and features a live-works restaurant with production kitchen and dining room; two full-sized industry-standard training kitchens; a cookery/barista demonstration classroom and an information technology classroom for tourism and event management training.
"Tourism and hospitality are crucial industries for the Peel region, bringing in visitors and providing jobs for local people," Premier Roger Cook said.
"This new $16.9 million facility is a one-stop-shop for specialist training in the region, and its modern and practical design will ensure it becomes a popular space for the community too.
"This is a fantastic new training centre for Mandurah that has all the contemporary facilities required to help people become job-ready workers who can step straight into the local workforce."
