The package would see the creation of 465,000 free TAFE spaces for Australians studying in areas experiencing skills shortages - including hospitality and tourism - and areas critical to the care economy.Labor’s Future Made in Australia Skills PlanMr Albanese further claimed the Morrison Government had “abandoned” the university sector when it had been crippled by COVID-19 shutdowns and border closures.
