The community has the chance to explore study and training opportunities at the TAFE SA Victor Harbor Campus, with an open day on Wednesday, 15 May.

Job seekers, employers, career changers and school students are all welcome to attend.

The open day will include campus tours and information sessions throughout the day, giving visitors the opportunity to see classes in action, talk with lecturers and check out the facilities.

Dean Pratt is TAFE SA Manager Education Partnerships - Adelaide Metro, Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island.

He says vocational education and training provides important workforce skills and the open day offers the chance to find out more about the career pathways available.

“We really want to encourage people to come along and get involved in the day’s activities,” he says.

“TAFE SA delivers high-quality, industry-relevant training across a range of sectors and this is a great opportunity to find out what’s involved in studying with us.

“Visitors will be able to see our well-equipped classrooms and skills labs, meet the lecturers and ask questions.

“I’d also encourage local employers who are looking to train staff to come along and talk to us about customised training solutions.”

TAFE SA’s student services team will be available to provide information on applying for courses and more about campus life. 

They will be joined by a range of other exhibitors, including MAS National who will be on hand to explain their services for trainees and apprentices, and Rotary Victor Harbor will cook up a sausage sizzle from 11am to 1pm.

Mr Pratt says it’s an exciting time for TAFE SA’s Victor Harbor Campus with an upgrade to the resource centre and library currently under way, and a new Regional University Study Hub to be established at the campus.

Courses currently delivered at Victor Harbor include Aged and Disability Services, Children’s Education and Care, Community and Family Services and a range of short courses.

Other TAFE SA courses are available through online study and open day visitors will be able to see a demonstration of a virtual classroom.

The open day will run from 9am to 3pm at the campus on George Main Road. Register to attend specific sessions via the TAFE SA website.
