The Benefits of Work Experience

TashaWhen I first started at Passmores’ Business College I had no idea where I was planning to go in the future and, as the year progressed, I was surprised to find that I was quite a creative person.

This is when I realised that I loved advertising and was thinking that I would pursue advertising as a career. However, after doing my work experience at NBN, I found that I loved it so much that I am now keen to pursue television journalism.

I would recommend doing work experience to anyone interested in being a journalist as it is such an eye opener as to what the industry is like. I’m thankful to Passmores’ Business College for the opportunity they created to see firsthand what it was like to be employed in television journalism

Business College Work Experience Underway

Students from Passmores’ Business College are required to take work experience as part of their business course.

In recent years the college extended work experience from 2 weeks to 6 weeks as they found in doing so many of their students find full-time work before they even complete their Newcastle courses. This year has been no exception! Students have not yet completed their work experience and are already securing employment.

To date students have gained employment at First National Real Estate, Masons Lawyers, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley and BSI Constructions, just to name a few.

With nearly a 100% employment rate every year Passmores’ really is training Newcastle students for effective job placement!

Correspondence Course Success

Craig goes the Distance!

Congratulations Craig on graduating with a Distinction Diploma in the Event Management course. He is the very first student to enrol in the new Distance Learning Program correspondence course which opened for enrolments in 2008.

Even though the college has trained thousands of students over the years, Craig is our first to graduate through correpondence studies. Craig’s results were outstanding and he also wowed staff and charity groups when he solely raised over $ 2996.10 for ‘First Chance’, as part of his Event Management course assignment. 

“I really enjoyed putting what I learned into practice” as well as “helping the charities to raise funds”.  Craig is feeling super confident and ready to pursue the career in Events.

Well done on great results!
