SKILLS BOOST

The creation of a world-class automotive hub in Victoria is closer to reality, with the Bracks Government allocating $30 million towards the second stage of the Automotive Centre of Excellence in the 2007-2008 state budget.

There will be practical workshops and office spaces at the Docklands facility, where the rest of Kangan Batman TAFE's automotive training (now at Richmond and Coburg) will transfer.

PLUMBING TALENT

Victoria's Plumbing Industry Commission is searching for the state's leading plumbers.

"We're calling for nominations of Victorian plumbing practitioners who best deserve a pat on the back," says Plumbing Industry Commissioner Tony Arnel. The winner will receive $1500 worth of plumbing equipment, the runner-up $1000 and two semi-finalists $500.
