Ms Larkings said, considering the announcement of fee-free traineeships and apprenticeships by the NSW Government together with Smart and Skilled funding, there's never been a better time for people to consider their choices.
"Courses for nine of the 10 most in-demand jobs are already being delivered by TAFE NSW," she explained.
"Industries across the state, such as construction, nursing and hospitality, are experiencing skills shortages.
"So, now is the time for people to get the qualification they need for the job they want.
"With entry level courses to bachelor degrees in areas such as early childhood education, information technology and business, choosing TAFE NSW is an obvious choice for people looking to secure their first job, win a promotion or endeavour on a career change.
"TAFE NSW students are in high demand because of the quality of their education and ability to hit the ground running with the job-ready skills that employers are looking for."
Ms Larkings said visitors to local and online information sessions and campus tours during InfoFest would learn more about how studying one of over 1200 courses at TAFE NSW could turbocharge their career.
"InfoFest will provide prospective students with an invaluable opportunity to explore the innovative range of course options, meet with award-winning teachers and explore the practical, hands-on facilities at TAFE NSW," she added.
"I encourage anyone who is considering learning a new skill in 2020 to visit their local TAFE NSW facility between January 20 and 24 or www.tafensw.edu.au for further information and online information sessions."
