The CHETCC is a committee of Council whose aim it is to promote and celebrate the value of lifelong learning in the community and address other issues relating to education and training within the community, such as but not limited to poor post year 10 retention rates and identified skills shortages.

The Committee recently obtained funding from Skills Tasmania, as part of the joint Australian & Tasmanian Government's "North West and Northern Tasmania Innovation and Investment Fund" (NWNTIIF), to employ a part-time Project Officer.

Mayor Daryl Quilliam said "This Project Officer will work to establish and promote programs and initiatives that will encourage training and retraining opportunities in Circular Head, with a primary focus on retrenched workers and those affected by recent industry restructures".

Further enquiries may be directed to Yvonne Stone, Community Development Officer by Telephoning 6452 4800.
