Chisholm TAFE
Mr TARLAMIS (South Eastern Metropolitan) (10:28): Construction is now underway on a new $67.6 million learning facility at Chisholm TAFE’s Frankston campus. This second stage of the $151.1 million redevelopment will introduce a new, multilevel learning facility, delivering 9600 square metres of learning spaces, including specialised learning spaces for community services, art and design, VCE, VCAL and foundation college courses, as well as a new student hub, gallery, food, retail and outdoor spaces. The facility will complement stage 1, replacing the two oldest buildings on the Fletcher Road campus. The entire project will generate an estimated 132 jobs, including employment for 25 apprentices during construction and at least 30 new teaching positions over the next decade. It is expected that students will be utilising the new building by late 2023. We are proud to be continuing our work to make TAFE better than ever, so whether you are studying mental health, youth work or cybersecurity this new campus will give locals from Frankston and beyond all the tools they need to start an exciting new career in an in-demand sector.
