Angliss funding boost

William Angliss Institute is to train an extra 1800 students thanks to a funding boost announced by the State Government last month.

The King St institute, which is celebrating its 75th year this year, has been promised an extra $4.47 million as part of a general boost to the TAFE system.

The Government will fund $2.72 million to the World-Class Hospitality and Food Training for Regional Victoria program, creating opportunities for regional Victorians to develop the hospitality and tourism skills they need to get jobs.

Some $1.74 million is also being provided to help the institute establish a new Angliss International Hotel School to provide a pathway to jobs in the hotel sector.
