3040 - TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY COURSES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education

Given that tourism and hospitality courses have been dropped from Hunter TAFE's Glendale and Wyong campuses, how will the Minister ensure there will not be a shortage of skilled workers in the tourism and hospitality industries?
Answer -

Hunter Institute is currently undertaking a consultation process with staff and key stakeholders in relation to the consolidation of delivery for non-trade (non-apprentice) tourism and hospitality programs across the entire Institute.

The cost of delivering non trade (non-apprentice) programs that are low demand but high cost in six locations across the Institute, is not sustainable.

Hunter Institute will continue to offer trade (apprentice) programs at three locations including Hamilton, Kurri Kurri and Ourimbah Campuses to assist in addressing the need for skilled workers in the tourism and hospitality industry in the Hunter and Central Coast regions.
