More than 600,000 students will be able to go to TAFE for free under a NSW Labor plan to address skill shortages.

Plumbing, electrical trades, disability, aged care and childcare will be among the courses initially covered by the 10-year plan, which Labor says will be modified each year to plug gaps.

"This government is deliberately killing TAFE and we need to rescue it," Opposition leader Michael Daley said in Sydney

"Free TAFE will not only help teach young people the skills they need but also offer older people who've lost their jobs the opportunity to retrain - and retrain free of charge."
