In the past college was very different to how it is now at Passmores’ Business College.  The skills required of business people have changed as society has progressed into a more technological society.

In the early 1980’s my mother attended Metropolitan Business College in Sydney.  The course she learnt whilst at the college was very different to that learnt here at Passmores’ Business College.  At the college there were only three main subjects and these included typewriting skills, learning to write short hand and deportment.

At Passmores’ Business College however, there are three majors to choose from; marketing and media, hospitality and tourism and real estate and legal.  Each of these majors consists of fourteen different subjects.  The knowledge and information that is expected from students now, is far greater than it was in previous times.

In the 1980’s women still did not have equal rights in the work place and the jobs that young women could aspire to  were not that varied.  Young women could aspire to be a secretary, a school teacher or a nurse.  These were roles that were seen as predominately feminine.  The class that my mother attended had no young men whatsoever, but here at Passmores’ Business College 10% of attendees are male.  No longer are the days where women have less rights in the workplace, young women can now aspire to be on par with every other male in the business.

Women have a chance to progress and develop to be anything they want to be, and here at Passmores’ Business College they are inspiring us to do so.

Real estate course student, Danielle

Danielle Wiggins, one of our real estate course students, came into the Passmores’ Business College smiling from head to foot as she described her practicum experience at Property Management Systems (PMS).

Danielle was at PMS for two weeks during which time she gained experience in completing property condition reports, building rapport with potential clients, presenting services to clients and gleaned a wealth of experience in how to be a good real estate agent.

When asked if the content of her  real estate course, Newcastle had proven to be useful she immediately commented on how helpful it had been to look at the different legal/real estate documents in class.  Danielle reflected that, ‘knowing what I was looking for when asked to get different documents was really important, it made my job so much easier’.  She was also able to put into practice her lectures on ‘how to deal with clients’ and ‘property management’.

Danielle was so pleased that she’d been able to go on practicum because it had enabled her to gain some firsthand insight into the real estate industry.

I asked Danielle if real estate was for her.   ‘Absolutely, she quipped, I loved it and am really hoping that a position opens up in property management.’

I can’t wait to catch up with some of the other Passmores’ real estate course students to hear how their practicum went!
