Goulburn MP Wendy Tuckerman said the bushfires had a devastating impact across NSW.
"These courses will equip communities with the skills they need to rebuild and repair critical infrastructure such as homes and businesses while creating new employment opportunities to help them get back on their feet as quickly as possible," she said.
Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said more than 500 people enrolled in the fee-free courses in the South Coast announced in March.
"The NSW Government is not only committed to supporting industries and communities in need of more skilled workers to rebuild communities but also to support displaced workers or businesses severely impacted by the bushfires by funding various training courses," Mr Lee said.
The training will be delivered across NSW by TAFE NSW and other Registered Training Organisations.
