Making the Grade

A new initiative called Technology Diffusion Gateway is open for business at the Gippsland Campus. The project which has received over $650,000 in funding will help Gippsland businesses make better use of technology they have, or introduce new technology to improve the way their business operates. Businesses will receive one-on-one assistance and technology implementation know-how to improve aspects of their business from internal business processes. This project is an Australian first and aims to establish partnerships with other regionally based institutions so that knowledge can be shared to the benefit of business.

Open subject

Over 300 students enrolled for Undergraduate studies at the Gippsland Campus last week. It is expected that more than 600 students will have enrolled after all offers have been accepted.
