On Tuesday 9 April, Empowering Women in Trades (EWIT), Snowy Hydro and Wodonga TAFE welcomed a group of women to the Trades Training Centre to experience Carpentry, Electrotechnology and Plumbing trades, giving them exposure to a range of tools and an understanding of the range of roles within them.

Wodonga TAFE is excited to announce the launch of two new skill set courses: UEESS00194 - Grid-connected Photovoltaic Systems Designer-Installer Skill Set UEESS00191 - Grid-connected Battery Storage Systems Designer-Installer Skill Set These courses are designed to equip A-grade electricians and fourth-year electrical apprentices with the skills and knowledge needed to become qualified solar photovoltaic (PV) designers and installers, or battery storage system (BSS) designers and installers.

Wodonga TAFE is proud to have introduced the inaugural Rob Staley Memorial Award, a tribute to a teacher whose dedication, integrity, and mentorship shaped generations of carpentry apprentices. Rob Staley was known for his unwavering commitment to his students, his craft, and the values that shape a great tradesperson; reliability, practical skill, perseverance, and genuine character.

A huge congratulations to Maeve, who has been announced as one of the recipients of the 2026 Downer Building and Construction Scholarship at Wodonga TAFE.

The $6,000 scholarship was available exclusively to female students enrolled in the Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Site Management) at Wodonga TAFE, with the aim of supporting women from the Albury/Wodonga region to pursue leadership pathways within the building and construction industry.
