Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design, Design Centre Enmore
College Achievement Award and State Medal winner

Danielle decided to leave a successful career in Marine Ecology and pursue her passion for Jewellery and Object Design.

“In the next five years I will build a flourishing jewellery and object design business, focusing on exhibition and commission work. I plan to complement that by running a profitable coaching business with corporate, arts and arts education clients, helping other artists and craftspeople find success.”

Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, Ultimo College
College Achievement Award

Mek knew he had worked hard and done his best, and felt proud to be awarded the Ultimo College Achievement Award.

“The teachers were wonderful and have been behind the success that I have achieved. I was working full-time so I was doing the course part-time. When I started I questioned whether the course should be so long, but I soon came to realise that for quality learning, it was the right length of time.”

Diploma of Graphic Design, St George College
College Achievement Award

Scott had been overseas for a couple of years and when he returned decided to study Graphic Design.

“The first thing that impressed me was the teachers’ industry knowledge. They were more than happy to share with us, and went above and beyond what I expected from a teacher. They were there to make sure we got the best from our learning experience. You could always depend on their ability to push you to achieve your best.”

Advanced Diploma of Accounting, Randwick College
College Achievement Award

Olivia wanted practical work-based training to get straight into her industry – and TAFE was the best way. She plans to do her degree – with one year of Advanced Standing from TAFE – and ultimately become a CPA (Certified Practising Accountant).

“TAFE is a friendly environment and the teachers always have time for you. I looked for a job in accounts and two weeks later I got one! I know that was because of TAFE.”
