3.13: Skills Development
Skills development through vocational education and training. Other Information:
Strategic infrastructure investment will ensure that industry-relevant training is underpinned by the latest equipment and
technology. Upgrading of vocational education and training facilities will build on the ACT Government’s major investment
in school education, and provide the basis for the growth in post-school education and training that is necessary to maintain
the ACT’s sound economy. The relocation of the Canberra Institute of Technology’s horticultural facilities from Weston to
the Bruce Campus will create synergies with emerging industries, demonstrated through purpose-built horticultural facilities.
These will incorporate environmental features and provide for the latest in water-efficient plantings, allowing efficient
water management and recycling on a site that is potentially carbon-neutral. Further enhancements to CIT’s Fyshwick Trade
Skills Centre and an examination of the funding options for the implementation of CIT’s Reid Campus Masterplan are being undertaken,
along with significant investment in IT projects and equipment upgrades.
