Equipping the workforce to build NSW homes: Record Investment in TAFE and Skills

The Minns Labor Government’s 2025-26 Budget allocates a record $3.4 billion for TAFE and skills funding to address the housing crisis by developing a skilled workforce for construction. This includes $40.2 million for fee-free apprenticeships, supporting 23,000 construction traineeships in trades like plumbing and carpentry. A $13.8 million Construction Workforce Package will assist 4,800 workers in transitioning to residential construction jobs. Key supports include $7 million for existing workers to obtain formal trade qualifications, $4.8 million for training laborers and career changers, and $2 million for school partnerships and career fairs. Also, a $2.8 billion investment aims to modernize TAFE NSW through infrastructure upgrades, improved job security for teaching staff, and strategic campus relocations, bolstering vocational education as a solution to workforce challenges.
