The students completed their Certificate III in Individual Support and Certificate IV in Ageing Support and Disability qualifications.
They all seemed excited and ready to begin their new careers.
“The teachers were great to work with,” graduate Ash Catto said.
“I was pretty nervous to start, but it was pretty cruisy. Great environment.”
Graduate Sara Douthat agreed.
“I knew no-one, but now I have made friends through the program,” she said.
Graduate Tyson Garlick said the benefits would be felt widely.
“People are developing more important skills that help the community,” he said.
The experience has inspired many students to pursue further studies and continue building their careers, supporting members of the Kyabram community who are ageing or have disabilities.
