Regional general manager Susie George announced Community Services, Basic Business Skills, Visitor Information Services, Create and Design Spreadsheets were just some of the exciting additions at the CLC in 2020.
"We're responding to the community's evolving needs," she said.
"TAFE NSW is ensuring it is possible to equip students with the skills they need to get a job in industries with increasing demand in our region."
Ms George said the TAFE NSW courses would also equip the industry with the skilled workers it needed.
"They will allow us to prepare students for the workforce so they are 'job-ready' once they graduate, saving employers considerable time in training," she explained.
"It is critical our local job-seekers have access to high-quality education and training if we are to develop the next generation of industry leaders."
Ms George said a highlight of the new courses was the Diploma in Community Services.
According to the Australian Government Job Outlook, Health Care and Social Assistance is Australia's largest and fastest growing industry, employing more than 1.5 million people.
"Because of increased demand in the region, the Diploma of Community Services will be delivered in Singleton by TAFE NSW for the first time," Ms George said.
"Add to this to a number of short courses and a range of online courses available through TAFE Digital, it is evident that TAFE NSW is reaffirming itself as the number one training provider for the region."
