“With HSC exams underway, Summer Skills offers school leavers free short courses to upskill over the summer months, in courses such as Medical Terminology, Design and Build a Website, and Retail Customer Service.”
Head of Tourism and Experience Service Skills Team at TAFE NSW, Marion Fitzpatrick said many of the courses are being offered online.
“Which means that no matter where you are located you can take up the opportunity to boost your employability and gain new skills,” Ms Fitzpatrick said.
“The Statement of Attainment in Hospitality (Barista Skills) is being offered at the local Wetherill Park campus, and is a great opportunity for school leavers to learn practical and customer-focused skills.
