More than 700 Tasmanians have upskilled through tourism and hospitality industry-led training.
The Tasmanian Government is investing in training that is fit for purpose and informed by industry feedback.
Minister for Tourism, Hospitality and Events, Jane Howlett, said we have worked with the sector and the Tourism and Hospitality Workforce Advisory Committee to deliver for Tasmania.
“We are investing in a dynamic and responsive vocational training sector with public and private sector training organisations, ensuring training providers achieve outcomes that meet industry needs,” Minister Howlett said.
“We have established the School for the Visitor Economy, and we continue to support the Tasmanian Hospitality and Tourism Academy.
“The Academy, formerly known as Visitor Experience Training, is industry-led and is delivering industry-designed short courses that reflect real-world hospitality and tourism skills with more than $4 million in support from our Government.
“The Academy has enrolled a total of 705 learners across 72 individual course offerings in 2025 with continued delivery planned for the remainder of the year.”
Minister Howlett said the industry and government are working together to move the state forward and prepare the sector to meet industry needs.
