Tourism and Hospitality Industry Training Boost

Sarah Courtney,Minister for Small Business, Hospitality and Events

The 2020-21 State Budget is set to create jobs, invest in our community and provide certainty and confidence for a better Tasmanian future.

We know that those in the hospitality and tourism industries have been some of the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Government is committed to continuing to work with these important sectors to build a skilled workforce and develop a sustainable, industry-led approach to training.

These industries underpin the Tasmanian economy and are supported in the 2020-21 State Budget with $1 million over two years to support the establishment of a new not-for-profit industry Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

This funding demonstrates our clear commitment to improve training options for these important sectors in Tasmania and fulfils the Government’s long term aspiration to grow our skilled Tasmanian hospitality and tourism workforces.
