Plans to upgrade South Metropolitan TAFE’s Mandurah campus for $ 14.67 million are progressing. The project is now advertised.

The state-of-the-art hospitality and tourism training center is used to provide training in commercial cooking, tourism and event management and to offer career paths for budding chefs, event managers, baristas and on-site employees.

Hair and beauty training facilities will also be incorporated into the new center, increasing the number of students it will cater for.

The center will be a one-stop shop for simulated training on the Mandurah campus. The construction includes two training kitchens, a production kitchen and a restaurant as well as a new hairdressing salon and special training rooms for beauty therapy and massage.

Construction is expected to start in July.
