TAFE SA
TAFE SA training across the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, in the remote north-west of South Australia, is guided by the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Education Committee (PYEC) and is helping Anangu develop practical skills in sectors such as health and construction which are being used to benefit local communities.
