TAFE NSW Managing Director, Chloe Read, said this is an incredible result for Tyler Walter. “WorldSkills is more than a competition – it’s a celebration of vocational excellence, and an invaluable opportunity for students, like Tyler Walters to build their skills, confidence, and careers,” Ms Read said.
“This achievement demonstrates the life-changing impact of hands-on training and mentorship, and the vital role TAFE NSW plays in preparing the future workforce.”

Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education, Steve Whan congratulated all the medal-winning TAFE NSW students.

“These students are a credit to their communities and a testament to the quality of vocational education we’re delivering right across NSW,” Mr Whan said.

“TAFE NSW equips students with the practical skills and experience they need to thrive in the workforce – and their success on the national stage speaks volumes.”
