What impact did your studies/work have on your life?
This course has impacted me in the best way possible. It has provided me with the opportunity to start my career in administration and jump-start my life after high school. I have gained workplace skills as well as life skills that allow me to conduct myself professionally.
I had the opportunity to go to schools and promote our brand which has resulted in the largest percentage of female enrolments to date! I enjoy working in a team setting, it allows for open discussion of different ideas from people of all backgrounds and cultures. This helps me immensely as I learn different approaches to manage situations. I also like the range of skills my colleagues have, and I learn from them every day.
I strongly believe that VET training is a solid pathway to a successful career. I have completed two Certificates through the VETis program. It allowed me to gain practical knowledge and skills within the industries that I would not have been able to through university.
