Business Students Prepare For Workforce

Term one has flown by and now Passmores’ Business College students are busy settling into term two.

Passmores’ takes pride in offering Newcastle courses that prepare students for the realities of the workforce.  A big component of succeeding in the business sector involves time management and team work.  As a result, term one was a big learning curve for our students, as they learnt to grapple with these issues through a steady flow of assignments, tests, team work and presentations.  The students were glad to take a well earned break at the end of term one!

The atmosphere at Passmores’ Business College, as term two swings into action, is one of positive energy as the students gear up for another busy term.  There is a happy buzz, as students realise that they can get through it and are already equipped with some well learnt lessons from term one.

All the best guys, we know you can do it!

As a result, we have developed Correspondence Courses which incorporate personal attention and practical experience.

Passmores’ Business College realizes that it is not possible for all students to take a year out to further their studies, hence the Correspondence Courses in addition to our full-time courses.

So, if you’re interested in a career in Human Resource Management, Events Management, Real Estate, Legal, Marketing, Media or Hospitality, why not contact us so that we can help you make a start!

If you’re regretting not applying please contact the College as soon as possible; we may be able to help.  All of our courses include Office Management, Events Management, Human Resource Management and Public Relations.  We also offer subjects in the areas of Public Relations, Marketing, Media and Legal and Real Estate.

So if you’re having second thoughts about 2010 give us a ring and one of our friendly staff will be able!

For further information….

The 2010 year started with some practical advice on how to organise study time and then the students were off to their first set of classes. By the end of the day they were keen to get home and start planning their weekly schedule!

As the week progressed it was great to see the students settling in so quickly to their new routines and already forming some great friendships.

The staffs at Passmores’ are expecting to have a great year and look forward to getting to know the students individually.

Our Newcastle Hospitality Course is always popular! It is an interesting and varied course which looks at training Newcastle students in both theoretical and practical elements of Hospitality. Students enjoy learning about Front Office Operations, Human Resource Management, Computer Studies and International Tourism Theory. The students also greatly benefit from practical subjects like Event Management where they, along with the other majors of Marketing Media and Legal/Real Estate, actually organize a fundraising event and have the satisfaction of presenting a cheque to their chosen charity. Always a highlight of the year!

The Newcastle Hospitality Course also includes excursions where students get to see how the large hotels work behind the scenes and includes the option to travel overseas and have an international experience.

So, if you’ve ever wondered about a career in hospitality, now’s the time to act. We would love you to be one of our 2010 Business College students.

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!

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!

The 2009 student’s yearbook will contain great information and articles on their year at the Business College as well as student photos, memories and much more.

We are already looking forward to the finished product which will be released in Term 4 at the end of this year. All Business College students will receive an electronic copy at end of year.
