School leavers can get an understanding of study pathways, find out what areas interest them and learn what tertiary education is all about.
People re-entering the workforce, looking for a change in career direction or returning to study can experience different fields and learn about pathways to university.
GOTAFE Shepparton Diploma of Nursing (HLT54121) student Amanda Barclay made a career change from retail into nursing, making her the first person in her whole family to enrol in higher education.
“GOTAFE helped me achieve my goals,” Amanda said.
“If study is something that you are thinking about doing, go for it.
“Any hurdle can be managed or jumped — I was so scared going back to school after so many years out, but it was so worth it.
“The support that you get from the staff at GOTAFE is amazing.
“They make it achievable if you are willing to put the effort in.”
Whether you are looking to start your career, or even change your career like Amanda, GOTAFE is here to help you gain some new skills or explore your options.
We invite you to join us at the GOTAFE Shepparton Open Day on Saturday, August 26, where you can talk with our students and industry-experienced trainers to obtain real-life insights on courses and vocations.
Bring your family and friends along for a fun day out at the open day, with an atmosphere everyone will enjoy including free food, cultural activities and interactive experiences.
During the month of September, GOTAFE will also hold open month, with free department tours available throughout the month.
This new initiative is hoped to increase community access to information relating to courses, campus life and study pathways.
GOTAFE offers a range of courses, so no matter what your goals are, we have a course for you.
Our trainers are all industry-qualified, experienced, and passionate about what they do.
Studying with GOTAFE, you'll gain the skills and knowledge employers are looking for, and you'll graduate with both a recognised qualification and the practical experience to match.
The change you want to make starts here — visit our campuses during GOTAFE’s Open Month or bring your family to one of our open days. For further information, visit https://www.gotafe.vic.edu.au/open-days-2023
