Surveying Courses Information Session

Have you considered a career in Surveying? Do you want a job that is interesting, leading-edge and that will give you the option to work in many diverse fields around the world?

Surveyors use the latest technology to help us understand the world and help solve problems - ranging from environmental issues to disaster planning and business analysis.

Surveyors:

- Help police at crime scenes
- Use computer imaging and satellites to monitor environmental change
- Predict earthquakes and map the ocean floor
- Tell you where your land ends and your neighbour's begins

Surveying Technical Assistants are in demand. There aren't enough technical assistants to meet current or future demand. Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE in consultation with a local Industry Steering Group, have developed exciting new programs specifically designed to address the skill shortage currently experienced by the land development industry.

GOTAFE encourages students to undertake both training and work experience whilst undertaking these programs. Courses available include:

- Certificate III in Spatial Information Services
- Certificate IV in Surveying

These may both be undertaken as Traineeships.

NEW: Civil Engineering Information Session

Civil Engineers are employed in a wide variety of professions performing a broad range of technical and managerial tasks. Civil Engineers plan, design, build, construct and manage infrastructure and environmental projects. They are responsible for buildings, bridges, roads, harbours, dams, airports, coastal protection, water supply and public health.

Civil Engineers are in demand. Within the Goulburn Valley currently there are not enough Civil Engineers. There are many career opportunities available, particularly for people with a high aptitude for mathematics, physics and problem solving, a desire to tackle technological challenges and an ability to work with a wide range of people.

Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE in consultation with a Civil Engineering Reference Group has developed a new program specifically designed to address the skill shortage currently experienced by the industry.

In 2009 we will be introducing the Diploma of Engineering (Drafting). The course will run two days and one evening per week for 30 weeks per year over two years. You will graduate after this time with a Diploma of Engineering (Drafting), with two areas of specialisation in Civil Drafting and Civil Design.

The course also offers a pathway to Bachelor of Civil Engineering. Students going onto university studies will be given Advanced Standing to enter the Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Latrobe University, Bendigo.
