Institute of Applied Technology - Construction

TAFE NSW is developing the Institute of Applied Technology - Construction in western Sydney.

The NSW Government is investing $80m in the Institute of Applied Technology - Construction, which will be located at TAFE NSW Nepean – Kingswood.

With state-of-the-art simulated workplace environments and maker spaces, the Institute has been specifically designed to become a signature training hub, equipping the next generation of trades workers the skills fundamental to building the smart cities of the future.

The Institute of Applied Technology - Construction will be a flagship educational centre supporting the pipeline of major infrastructure projects, civil construction works, and residential developments currently in development, as well as future projects that will service western Sydney’s fast-growing population.

Ideally situated near local high schools and the Western Sydney University’s Werrington South campus, the Institute’s modern facilities, expert teachers, and on-site industry engagement, will all help to significantly enhance education and training within the region.

The Institute of Applied Technology - Construction will:

• be a signature construction training hub aligned to industry
• enable student and staff engagement with industry partners
• create an education environment to address skills gaps in the economy
• foster a network between schools, VET, universities, and industry, to co-design future-focused courses and innovative training models
• enable seamless study pathways between university and TAFE NSW
• deliver early exposure to students through programs and exclusive access to the latest technologies
• enable and encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration, industry engagement, and educational excellence
• enable upskilling and reskilling of workers throughout their careers
• improve accessibility through digitally-enabled facilities, providing virtual classes for remote and regional NSW communities.
