Impact of education on show at Wangaratta Open Day
GOTAFE is inviting community members to come along to the Wangaratta Open Day to discover education and employment pathways.
The Open Day will offer attendees the opportunity to see firsthand the options for education and training in Wangaratta.
Teachers will host a series of targeted information sessions for courses, while careers advisors and enquiry staff will be available to help prospective students with their course selection and applications.
Diploma of Nursing (HLT54121) alumni and Student Ambassador Kate Reid will be in attendance to answer questions and share her experiences studying with GOTAFE.
Since completing her course, Kate has progressed in her career and is now studying a Bachelor of Nursing at La Trobe University while working for National Patient Transport and juggling parenting responsibilities.
“GOTAFE gave me the foundation to build a meaningful career in nursing,” she said.
“I’m excited to be returning to GOTAFE’s Docker Street campus for Open Day to share my journey, answer questions, and show attendees around the place that helped shape my future.”
This year’s Open Day will look slightly different, with the event to be held in GOTAFE’s Flexible Learning Centre on the Cusack Street side of the Docker Street Campus.
Executive Director Student Experience Laura Baker encouraged prospective students and their families to come along and see what TAFE is all about.
“Open Day is often the first step our students take in finding out what GOTAFE is like and the course that suits them best,” she said.
“It’s a chance to see how vocational education can open real pathways to in-demand industries, with supportive teachers and modern facilities.
