"As part of TAFE's commitment to far north Queensland, we endeavour to deliver a range of innovative and interesting courses that reflect the diversity of our region," Ms Pyne said.
"This includes programs at Certificate III, IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma level across areas including fashion, information technology, conservation, Indigenous studies, marine, tourism and trade."
TAFE diploma graduates can also take advantage of credit arrangements with selected university bachelor programs, in particular Business and Management, Beauty Therapy, Hospitality, Tourism, Sustainability, Art and Music.
2010 study options include new programs in Protective Care, Responsible Gambling Services and the combined Hotel Front Office and Food and Beverage course.
Year 11 students looking to combine their schooling with vocational training can also enrol in the SchoolTech program, delivered in partnership with Education Queensland at the Cairns TAFE Campus.
"TAFE has a range of pathways to help you achieve your career and study goals and to suit your lifestyle and circumstances," Ms Pyne said.
