Tasmania Moves to Boost Future for Automotive Workers
TasTAFE and the Tasmanian Automotive Chamber of Commerce are delivering a training centre for auto workers in the state.
The next generation of heavy vehicle mechanics and service staff in Tasmania may well come from Cambridge, near Hobart.
A partnership between TasTAFE and the Tasmanian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (TACC) is expected to deliver a $2.35 million automotive training centre for learners at the TAFE with the first courses starting in Semester 1, 2026.
The training centre will be housed at the Cambridge Industrial Park and include an automotive workshop, flexible classrooms, all gender amenities, dedicated office spaces and storage, and ample parking for TasTAFE staff and learners.
“Today’s announcement represents a positive step forward for TasTAFE’s automotive training in Tasmania,”
Announcing the centre on October 20, TasTAFE interim CEO Will McShane said it was good news for the industry in the region.
