GippsTAFE's Open Week is being held September 4, 5 and 6, with a feature of the open week being a Community Open Day at the Yallourn and Morwell
Campuses from 10.00am-2.00pm on Saturday 6 September, with the whole community invited to inspect the $5 million refurbishment at the Yallourn Campus.
Thursday 4 September from 3pm - 7pm there is "Coffee and Chat with
Coordinators," where the public can drop in for a cuppa and discuss course options with coordinators at the Yallourn Campus.
Research undertaken by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research last year provided some compelling reasons to consider a course at TAFE, with 88% of GippsTAFE students either employed or undertaking further study after finishing their courses, and three quarters of TAFE graduates employed within six months of completing their course.
GippsTAFE has around 10,000 students across Gippsland, undertaking a wide range of courses at Morwell, Yallourn, Leongatha and Warragul Campuses.
Information about the Open Week activities, chat and courses available are listed on the GippsTAFE website, www.gippstafe.vic.edu.au or more information can be obtained by contacting 51204500 or 51270277.
