The Member for Oxley, Melinda Pavey, said the courses were part of the $320 million committed by the NSW Government to delivering 100,000 fee-free training places.
"This is an excellent opportunity for people to investigate fee-free training options in their area and I encourage anyone impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to do so," Ms Pavey said.
"Whether you are a school leaver or looking for a new career path, there is a large amount of training available amid the pandemic."
Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said enrolments were now open for in-demand skills leading to career pathways in areas such as aged care, nursing, trades, IT, community services, logistics and accounting.
"We are not training for the sake of training, we are training for real jobs with real futures and equipping the people of NSW with the skills they need to thrive in a post-pandemic economy," Mr Lee said.
As part of this Skilling for Recovery initiative, school leavers have the unique opportunity to experience a range of skills to find out what suits their passions using the Summer Skills program.
The Summer Skills offered will cover a range of industries including agriculture, construction, conservation, fitness, engineering, coding, communication and digital literacy.
