TAFE Whitsundays unveiled their new Aquaculture Centre of Excellence last weekend, at their official Open Day.
Welcoming members of the community into the new centre, TAFE Whitsundays also hosted industry professionals, offered comprehensive tours of the complex, and of the facilities, which now contain barramundi, ready for students to study.
Containing state of the art data analysis equipment, computerised training technologies, various fish tanks for study, and mixed-reality virtual rooms, and an extensive laboratory for sampling, analysis and training, the Centre is one of a kind for the region and for industry.
Construction of the centre was secured using $2 million of funding from the 2020-21 Queensland Budget.
Yet to be officially opened, the new centre will host a series of courses, equipping residents of the Whitsundays with notable and important certificates, diplomas and education that will ensure expertise and thorough knowledge in our marine and aquaculture industries.
