The WA Government has launched a new advertising blitz highlighting the career pathways made possible through TAFE, with Western Australians encouraged to consider skilling, upskilling or re-skilling.
The Government says the ‘You Can Make It Here’ campaign slogan recognises the vital role of fee-free and low-fee TAFE in delivering a skilled workforce and achieving the priorities of jobs, health, and housing.
It coincides with the end of the school year, when many young people are considering study options for 2026.
“My priorities are ensuring every Western Australian can get a quality job, have a home, and access the healthcare they need, when they need it,” said Premier, Roger Cook.
“TAFE makes all these things possible, which is why it’s key to my vision for WA.
“It’s why we’re making record investments in TAFE, ensuring it’s more affordable and accessible for all Western Australians.
“These investments are preparing WA workers for an increasingly diverse economy where we make more things here, build more homes and ships, deliver our clean energy transition, and provide quality healthcare for a growing population.”
‘You Can Make It Here’ features current students and showcases how Western Australians can build a successful and rewarding career through TAFE and take advantage of hundreds of fee-free or low-fee courses.
The campaign highlights opportunities from building affordable housing, to powering renewable energy infrastructure, and manufacturing defence patrol vessels, and in the state’s child care centres, aged care facilities and hospitals.
The campaign is brought to life by TAFE-trained director Jhaz Bullen-Williams and a mostly TAFE-trained production crew. The campaign will feature across television, cinema, digital and social media, print and out of home channels from today.
Prospective students can browse the full suite of courses and career pathways on the TAFE WA website, which has been redeveloped with enhanced features, including expanded information on priority industries such as clean energy and advanced manufacturing.
“We are investing at record levels – funding fee-free and low-fee courses, revitalising campuses and rejuvenating training centres to deliver job-ready graduates,” said Skills and TAFE Minister, Amber-Jade Sanderson.
“Our investment means 140 TAFE courses are now fee-free, and we have slashed fees for another 160 courses, opening the door to employment and ensuring our workforce is ready for the future.”
TAFE will accept Semester 1 2026 applications until 6 February 2026, with the deadline for competitive courses extended to 14 November 2025, so those interested have more time to apply.
