AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The answer appears to be dated 26 August 2004, but I do not think that will change the substance of the answer. (1) Specialist trades training for the northern suburbs is provided by the Balga campus of Swan TAFE. At this stage there are no specific plans for West Coast College of TAFE to expand its scope into the automotive or building and construction trades areas. However, the Department of Education and Training and West Coast College are presently considering the existing and future training needs for the region to determine how best they might be met by the TAFEWA network. West Coast College, as a key component of the TAFEWA network, will continue to work with government agencies, TAFE colleges and other service providers to facilitate collaborative service provision for education, training and employment opportunities in the northern metropolitan area. (2) The closest TAFE to the Butler, Clarkson, Merriwa and Mindarie area that offers traineeships and apprenticeship training in building and construction is the Balga campus of Swan TAFE. For automotive training, the closest TAFE is the Carlisle campus of Swan TAFE. Automotive traineeships are also offered by private registered training organisations such as Automotive Training Centre in Balcatta and World Mark, Osborne Park. Some construction training is also offered at Carramar Contracting Pty Ltd in Neerabup. (3) Travel allowance is available to those apprentices and trainees whose round trip distance exceeds 70 kilometres from their normal place of residence to the closest training venue offering the relevant off-the-job training component of their course. (4) There are currently approximately 600 enrolments in VET school courses at Mindarie Senior College. The high demand areas are in hospitality and tourism, business services and sport and recreational courses. Should there be a demand for building and/or automotive training at Mindarie Senior College, this can be accommodated through partnership arrangements with the appropriate TAFE college. For example, some students at Mindarie are enrolled in maritime studies at Challenger TAFE, the specialist provider for that industry area.
