This is a free service EDUCATION NEWS HSC students get career head start at TAFE Over six hundred Year 11 and 12 high school students from Tweed and Byron Shire have opted for a career head start by commencing studies at North Coast TAFE in areas such as construction, electro technology, tourism, children services, hairdressing, business, nursing and fitness. North Coast TAFE TVET coordinator, Natasha Rabjones, says that TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs allows HSC students to gain nationally recognised qualifications that, not only contribute towards their ATAR, but also provide pathways into apprenticeships or university. “During their time at TAFE, students will experience an adult learning environment providing them with skills and knowledge valued by employers and gain insight into careers they may like to pursue,” says Ms Rabjones. Kingscliff High School students, Ben Worgan and Zak Payne, are both undertaking dual qualification in fitness and sport training. “I have a great interest in fitness and feel these courses will give me an advantage with job opportunities available within the fitness industry,” says Zak. “New TVET courses designed to engage young people, such as surf lifesaving, surfboard construction and interior design, are added each year making the TVET program even more popular,” explained Ms Rabjones. Students interested in studying a TVET course should contact their school career adviser or the North Coast TAFE Customer Service Centre on 131 628 233. www.coffeeshop.goss.com.au > POTTSVILLE TO FINGAL > APRIL 2014 5
