Going global Sydney TAFE works to ensure it prepares its students for an international and multicultural workplace by providing exposure to different countries, cultures and languages – we’re going global. Ways to globalise your education

Network with industry leaders overseas

Adding international experience or foreign market knowledge to your resume, could put you ahead of the pack at graduation time.

Take part in a study tour abroad with a group of fellow students, to immerse yourself in your chosen industry. In 2012:

Learn a language We teach over 12 European and Asian languages in flexible classes during evenings and weekends. You can study a new language at beginner’s level all the way up to improving a language at advanced level.

Volunteer in a developing country 2.7 billion people around the world live in poverty, and by donating your time and skills, you have the opportunity to witness on-theground change, and affect lives for the better. In July 2012 Sydney TAFE students took part in a pilot program in Bangalore run by the 40K Foundation. The students lived in a quarry community with local families and taught numeracy, literacy and life skills to children. In 2011 some of our building and construction students also travelled to Samoa to help rebuild a tsunami struck village as part of the Groundswell project.

Study in a foreign country You could spend a semester studying in Denmark, Singapore, UK or Japan and gain credit towards your studies at Sydney TAFE. Exchange programs are currently open to students of Marketing, Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Technology, IT Networking and Jewellery and Object Design.

Film and Television and Visual Merchandising students travelled to New York Music students travelled to Los Angeles Children Services students travelled to Denmark Advertising students travelled to Singapore Public Relations students travelled to Hong Kong. These trips allowed students to meet with successful industry players, in countries renowned for producing top educational opportunities in these fields.

Learn from fellow students Every year Sydney TAFE accepts over 2,000 international students to study at one of our seven campus locations. This provides all Sydney TAFE students with the opportunity for cross-cultural learning.

Film students from Randwick College had the time of their lives on a study tour to New York. See their adventures on film. youtube.com/sydneyinstitute

International students Studying in a new country is an exciting experience. However, we recognise that you may need some assistance along the way. Sydney TAFE has a team of multicultural coordinators who can offer you advice and referral services for any course, visa or personal concerns. sydneytafe.edu.au/international

Industry and community connections Industry involvement We provide our students with as many opportunities as possible to engage with and participate in the industry they wish to join after graduation. Internships and mentoring

Industry leading teaching

We offer a range of courses that combine work placements, internships and mentoring opportunities to give students real life exposure to their industry while they study.

Our teachers are passionate about their industry, offering in-depth knowledge, gained from many years of practical experience, as well as great networks for their students.

In 2012 our students have internships in New York, intern roles at the 2012 Australian Film Festival, art administration placements with Kogarah City Council, advertising internships with JWT Singapore, clinical placements with Ramsay Health Care and numerous individual work placements across a wide range of other industries including real estate, community services, design and IT.

They are internationally recognised as experts in their field, winning and judging major competitions and exhibitions, invited to give talks and write papers worldwide, awarded global scholarships and representing their industry at national events.

Students can also network and be mentored by industry leaders through teacher’s connections and formal mentoring programs such as the hospitality Appetite for Success and Tasting Success mentoring schemes.

Industry events, excursions and competitions Throughout the year our students exhibit their work and practice their skills at industry events including the Pyrmont Uncorks Mudgee food and wine festival, Sydney Royal Easter Show, Shopfront Showcase project, Head On Photo Festival, WorldSkills competitions, MercedesBenz Australian Fashion Week and more. Students are also encouraged to enter local, national and international competitions to profile their work. In 2012 students have represented NSW at the Bake Skills Competition, Design Institute of Australia Awards, Sheet Metal Industry Association Awards, Golden Image Awards and National Spark Awards. Many courses also include hands-on excursions so you can get a real taste of your industry. Animal care students, for example, get direct access to Australian Walkabout Wildlife Park and the Animal Rescue Hospital, while visual merchandising students visited Barney’s department store in New York and children’s services students experience forest kindergartens in Denmark.

Our teachers have run their own leading businesses or worked for major multinational, specialist firms or trusted local companies. They are dedicated professionals, passing on their skills and knowledge while continuing to practice their profession at the highest level.

Industry benchmark facilities Our colleges offer students access to some of the most sophisticated technology and newest training facilities available. Students who train in these real world settings are genuinely work ready – they know what to expect and how to manage situations in the workplace. You too could train in our new marine bridge simulator, sustainable hydraulics centre, dedicated laboratories, on-site training gyms and sporting facilities, hair, beauty and massage clinics, commercial kitchens and training restaurants, television and radio studios, theatre and audiovisual suites, on-site child care centres, connected classrooms, design studios, on-site floristry outlet ‘The Ultimate Florist’, specialist dental technology centre, campus travel centre, on-site workshops and opening in 2013 the $16.9 million AutoCel transport centre.

Guest speakers Students benefit from monthly industry talks at Design Centre Enmore and through the knowledge and expertise of guest speakers at other colleges, such as Lanie Lane, Sydney TAFE graduate and rising pop star; film industry leaders from Dendy and Hopscoth Films; fashion designers Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett (Romance was Born); and Father Chris Riley, founder and CEO of Youth Off The Streets.

Community projects Sydney TAFE is committed to building strong links with businesses and communities to benefit our students’ education, and to support local initiatives that improve the lifestyle of Sydney-siders.

Chinese Year of the Rabbit

Battle of the DJs

Students from the Diploma of Costume for Performance and the Advanced Diploma of Live Production, Theatre and Events took on valuable work experience by creating costumes and props for the Chinese New Year Parade.

Our Event Management students organised a DJ competition at Tone bar in Surry Hills in May 2012. The students worked on all aspects of the event from organising the talent to venue hire. All proceeds from the event were donated to the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal.

Students played a hands-on role in one of Sydney’s most culturally significant events – fitting costumes and arranging last minute schedule changes.

Show stopping flowers

Roll up Redfern

Students of floristry at Ultimo College took part in the renowned Sydney Royal Easter Show Grand Parade. The students created a flowerfilled float and took inspiration from The Jungle Book and fairy tales.

Visual merchandising students from Ultimo College helped transform shop windows in Redfern into works of art after Sydney TAFE joined forces with the City of Sydney Council and local businesses. A total of 14 retailers allowed students to dress their windows to entice shoppers and improve the overall look of the area.

Working on such a highly-visible event provided fantastic real-world experience for our students, who received great feedback from the public during the show.

The project formed part of the council’s Roll Up Redfern campaign which encouraged shopkeepers to re-establish glass fronts and ditch their roller shutters which many had in situ since the 1980s when Redfern was not as safe.

Degree in excellence In 2011, TAFE NSW Higher Education bridged the traditional gap between vocational training and university by introducing its first degree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Bachelor of Design (Interior Design) at the Design Centre Enmore. Building upon the success of our first bachelor program, we now also offer degrees in 3D Art and Animation, Applied Finance (Financial Planning) and an Associate Degree of Accounting. For further information on all of our degree programs visit sydneytafe.edu.au/degrees Bachelor of 3D Art and Animation Program aims Students will acquire industry relevant knowledge and skills in 3D modelling, lighting, texturing, rigging, animation, visual effects, programming and compositing. This is supported by a theoretical and practical grounding in art and animation principles, and in the expression of narrative structure.

Course structure

Bachelor of Design (Interior Design) Program aims Students will learn how to create innovative, original interior design concepts, explore the spatial, structural and material elements of built interior environments and develop a comprehensive understanding of interaction between interior spaces and the people who use them.

This three-year degree is set across six semesters. Toward the end of the course, students will build on their mastery of the fundamentals and use this to choose an area of creative specialisation (3D art, animation or final-look rendering and compositing). They will acquire a deeper understanding of the essential 3D digital skills and create a show-reel that demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of production standards and processes as expected by professional studios.

Course structure

Professional practice and internships

Students are required to undertake a workbased placement in a design practice1. The interior design internship program will involve students working in a sponsoring organisation for a specified period of time, on a defined project of mutual benefit to the student and the sponsor. This internship represents an outstanding opportunity to put the knowledge acquired during your studies into practice.

Practice studio, team projects and internship opportunities are available to allow students to gain invaluable insight into the world of work, preparing them for the job market.

Career opportunities Typical industries for a 3D artist or animator to work in include filmmaking, game design and development, television, online content development, advertising and visualisation. Across Australia, local studios offer career opportunities for artists and animators, several of which undertake projects on an international scale and work extensively with major producers of entertainment.

As a guide, the degree can be completed during three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study. During your final semester, you will be encouraged to synthesise the knowledge gained throughout your studies by initiating and completing an individuallyconceived major project, under the guidance of a design educator.

Professional practice and internships

Career opportunities There is a definitive industry focus to all project work, allowing students to embark upon careers in applied design ahead of the traditional academic curve. After graduating, students could find themselves designing a wide variety of interior environments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from single and multilevel residential spaces to largescale commercial projects.

1 In certain agreed circumstances, where students are already working in industry or a suitable internship cannot be found, one (previously unselected) elective can be undertaken in place of the internship.

Bachelor of Applied Finance (Financial Planning)

Associate Degree of Accounting

Program aims

This associate degree is a two-year higher education qualification that not only aims to prepare students for work in the accounting industry but also builds the skills required for success at university. Students learn the foundations of accounting as well as how to research and evaluate information, form ideas and write essays and papers.

Graduates will be in a strong position to build relationships with clients, think problems through to provide solutions to clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns and integrate theoretical and practical knowledge to suit the requirements of this complex industry.

Course structure Set across six semesters, this three-year degree is structured to encourage professional progression and development. Students will be provided with the practical and theoretical skills required for a professional career in financial planning.

Professional practice and internships Students are required to undertake a compulsory internship in a professional environment. An internship offers an invaluable insight into the world of work, preparing students for their future career. It also provides the opportunity to put the knowledge and skills gained during study into practice.

Career opportunities Graduates of the degree could pursue a variety of roles including work as a financial planner, para-planner, business investment analyst, investment adviser, client relationship manager, financial analyst or stockbroker and work in the areas of client service and administration, superannuation, insurance and wealth management.

Green careers The Australian Government is implementing policies that will support the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. The transition will mean an increase in the demand for new skills, particularly skills for sustainability. Why focus on sustainability? In 2009 the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) endorsed the Green Skills Agreement, which seeks to build the capacity of the vocational education and training (VET) sector to deliver the skills for sustainability required in the workplace. As Sydney moves towards a low-carbon economy, Sydney TAFE is focusing on improving teaching standards and offering a wider range of Green Skills units to fulfil the demand for suitably trained employees.

What are skills for sustainability? Skills for sustainability, or Green Skills, are the technical skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed in the workforce to develop and support sustainable social, economic and environmental outcomes in business, industry and the community.

Sydney TAFE awarded for sustainability In 2012, for the second time running, Sydney TAFE won the prestigious HP Eco Solutions Printing Award for driving environmentally sustainable methods in imaging and printing. Our energy consumption, paper use, recycling responsibly policies as well as our carbon footprint were all examined and we came out on top across Australia and New Zealand.

A sustainable education with Sydney TAFE We currently offer over 197 courses with a sustainability component, across a wide range of study areas including electrical engineering, refrigeration, screen printing, interior design and decoration, fashion design, administration services and human resources management. Many of our teachers and trainers are continually upgrading their skills to maintain currency in both teaching and sustainability.

A green career thanks to Sydney TAFE We aim to be catalysts for change and to be at the forefront of industry trends and requirements, which is why we maintain a strong connection with industry in all of our study areas. Ultimately this provides greater opportunities for future employment for students who are educated and trained in Green Skills at Sydney TAFE.

Alex Certificate III in Carpentry

Alex recently won the 2012 Sydney Institute Apprentice of the Year award and is extremely passionate about the carpentry and building industry. His enthusiasm for his trade has seen him give up weekends to help build a bike shelter at Randwick College and helping a fellow student who had learning difficulties which earned him a Certificate of Appreciation from TAFE for his efforts.

The reason I chose the building industry and the option of being an apprentice was that I was able to earn a wage while studying. Also it was important for me that everything I learned at Sydney TAFE I was able to put into practice in the workplace the very next day. Due to my experiences at Randwick College and the mentoring I have received, I want to employ and mentor carpentry apprentices at my own building company one day, and possibily be a trainer.

Muhammad Diploma of Laboratory Technology (Food Testing)

Muhammad has a Masters in Food Science and Technology from Karachi University in Pakistan but needs to get a local qualification and experience so he can work in the field in Australia. However his previous knowledge and experience counts towards the diploma, meaning it will take him one year to complete instead of two.

The practical side of the course is great, we’re learning how to work in a laboratory environment which is a great advantage as when you get a job at the end, you’ll be able to do the work straight away. I’d like to work for a major food manufacturing company in quality assurance but this is a diverse field and I could end up specialising in food safety or research. Thanks to Sydney TAFE I know that I’ll have more career options once I’ve finished.

Having started his career as a business analyst, Justin came to plumbing relatively late in life. Although he has a degree in marketing, as he approached his mid-30s, he decided to escape the corporate lifestyle and improve his work life balance. He’s Justin turned his hand to Certificate IV plumbing and chose in Plumbing and Services Randwick College because of its good reputation and state-ofthe-art Hydraulic Trade Centre which helps train students in sustainable plumbing. The course at TAFE really gears you up to start your own plumbing business by the time you’ve finished it. That is my ultimate goal but I would like to do some travelling first, maybe go to Canada where I can use my plumbing skills. I think Australian tradesmen have a good reputation. One day I may also take some electrical and building courses to add to my repertoire.

Projected Skills Shortage Information. Courses flagged as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Skills Shortageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in this publication have been identified by Sydney TAFE after consultation with the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and Skills Australia. Skill needs and projected occupation shortages change as shortages are filled and other needs arise, and Sydney TAFE research is not definitive or absolute. Readers should always make their own enquiries. Note that unless stated otherwise, all information under 'Career facts' is taken from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Department of Education Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) trend data. This information is correct at the time of publication but is subject to change as ABS and DEEWR conduct new research. While Sydney TAFE has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the information in this Careers Guide is accurate and current at the time of publication, (August 2012), some information may still be incorrect or out-of-date. You should always check with the campus offering the course you want to do or call our information centre on 1300 360 601 for the latest information, including availability of the course, before you apply for enrolment at Sydney TAFE.
