“Having heard about the Certificate III in Arboriculture through a Wodonga TAFE School Experience Day, I was instantly hooked. I like being outside and I needed a job that wasn’t the same thing everyday, and arboriculture ticked that box.

When I first started, I didn’t even know how to use a chainsaw, now I’ll never forget how to use one. This course has given me more confidence in myself and my own knowledge. It’s not a very common trade, but it’s a fulfilling career path and I’d encourage anyone to look into it.”

“It’s never too late to follow your passion. Changing careers wasn’t an easy decision, but this course really chose me. I came from a background in retail management, but I knew I wanted to work outdoors and do something more hands-on. That realisation pushed me to retrain and start a new journey. Studying Sports Turf Management at Wodonga TAFE has been incredibly rewarding. I’ve found something I genuinely enjoy, and every day brings new learning opportunities. I love being able to share my experiences with others in the classroom—it’s great to feel like I’m making a difference.”

Engineers Australia I The Engineering Labour Market Overview August 2024

“During my time in industry employed as a qualified boilermaker, I noticed technology was developing more and more, so I sought out CAD short courses and loved the experience! I was encouraged into the Certificate IV in Engineering by my teacher Anu, whose guidance was invaluable throughout the course - especially in overcoming mathematic challenges and further fuelling my curiosity to learn more about the industry. Self-funding my study meant taking a leap, but it paid off with a rewarding role at Kotzur. Now, with their support, I’m on track to complete the Diploma of Engineering – Technical, ready to delve deeper into the realm of design and innovation.”

“I chose to pursue the Certificate IV in Engineering to capitalise on the Free TAFE opportunities still around, and to expand my skills beyond those I gained during my Engineering – Mechanical apprenticeship. Getting to experience different types of advanced machining, 2D-3D drawings and the integration of welding/fabrication units all motivated me to apply.

“I did a bit of placement with a couple of teams down in South Australia (where I’m from), who recommended to me that if I was serious about wanting a career in Motorsports that I needed to get in touch with Motorsports Training Australia.

The network that the teachers have with racing teams, and the variety of placement opportunities within the course give us the best opportunity to make the most of a career in Motorsports.”

“A highlight of my 20 years of working at Wodonga TAFE, is experiencing a lot of different teams. I have been fortunate to be with people who have a shared goal and are passionate about reaching it. We have had similar values about what we’re working towards, but not so similar that we’re the same and there’s nothing to learn from each other.”
