Why North Metropolitan TAFE has joined the Committee for Perth

At North Metropolitan TAFE we have delivered training in the city for more than 120 years. Our DNA is made up of the earliest days of the Perth Technical School and Perth Technical College.

Today, as the State’s largest provider of vocational education and training, we are training Western Australians for jobs in the high-demand industries that continue to fuel our city and our State.

Membership of the Committee for Perth provides us with a unique opportunity to continue this contribution to the rich fabric of our city, with a view to ensuring that Perth remains a vibrant cultural city to live, work, visit, study and invest in.
