TAFE at School Electrotechnology - Bundaberg

As you are aware, we had to withdraw our TAFE at School Cert. II Electrotechnology offering last year, as we did not have a teacher available to deliver the course. I am very pleased to inform you we have now appointed a new teacher, Neville Arbon, who will commence next week. Neville is a highly experienced Electrotechnology teacher, who has been working with school students in his former role.  

As part of Neville’s appointment, we are now in a position to offer the Cert. II Electrotechnology from our Bundaberg campus or if your school has a large number of students interested we may be able to deliver the program from your school campus. We would be able to offer this course on a Monday, Tuesday or Friday, with numbers determining which day would be selected. This program is a VETiS funded course for eligible students.

If you would like to express interest in this opportunity, please reply to this email with your number of students interested and preferred day of the week. We would aim to commence classes ideally the w/c 30^th January or at the latest w/c 6^thFebruary.

Kind regards,

Pathway options for your Students after Year 12 - Empowering Youth Initiative opportunity.

Thank you for contacting me back in regards to A-Class driving Centre.

This course runs from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm four days a week over a 26 week period. Youth aged 17-24 can enrol at any time.

Students complete a Certificate II in Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways. Additionally, students gain work ready skills through completing daily chores such as cleaning, photocopying, collating, answering the telephone and other ad-hoc duties.

We also provide training ourselves and or, via guest speakers, covering a range of topics such as, managing stress, developing at work, workplace health and safety, personal hygiene, communication, body language, customer service and teamwork.

The course includes a two week work placement in the industry of the students choice. In the final few weeks we assist with interview preparation, mock interviews and applying for suitable roles.

We have a Pathways Officer who will work with the students throughout the program and help them source careers of interest, in addition to the pathways they need, to reach their goal.

There is no cost to the student for the course. They just need their learners licence or be willing to get this in the first few weeks of the course. By attending the course, students earn mock dollars to pay for driving lessons with a qualified driving instructor.

My current students are nearing the end of their course and the personal growth as well as confidence, is clearly evident. 

Please let me know when you would like to arrange for me to speak to your students in relation to this wonderful Empowering Youth Initiative opportunity.

Thank you

Kindest Regards​
