TECHNICAL
AND FURTHER EDUCATION — COURSE AND TRAINING OPTIONS
484. Mr F.M. LOGAN to the
Minister for Training and Workforce Development:
I ask a supplementary question. I thought the minister would
have known about this because it was advertised. It was all part of the Bigger
Picture campaign. This thing was advertised in the newspaper. I point it out to
the minister so that she knows. Is it correct that after the student pays for
this type of training course—this joint venture that the minister and
Central TAFE signed off on—and does unpaid work experience at the end
of it, it provides the graduate with an opportunity for casual employment only?
Is that what the minister has signed off on, because it is a disgrace?

As I said previously, over 1 600 training packages are
available. If the member really wants to know about the specifics of that
particular course, he should put the question on notice.
