University College show hits the road

The University of
Tasmania’s University College and its range of flexible, innovate degrees is
travelling around Tasmania this week for a series of information sessions in
regional communities.

From today (3
December) through Friday (7 December), University College
representatives will visit towns from Smithton to St Helens and from Huonville
to Queenstown.

College Chief
Executive Lee Whiteley urged anyone who was interested in up-skilling or a
pathway to further education to head along and talk to one of the team at a
nearby session.

“University College
is something new and different in higher education,” Mr Whiteley said.

“We work with
industry, schools and communities across Tasmania to prepare the next
generation of employees. Whatever your age, and whether you’re at school or
not, we encourage you to come along and explore how University College can
help.”

The University
College was established in 2016 and offers a range of associate degrees and
pre-degree programs. Industry-focused and designed to address current skills
shortages, the courses feature embedded hands-on, work integrated learning
opportunities to ensure graduates are work-ready.

From applied
business, aquaculture, and cyber security, to agribusiness, design, applied
health and community support, and much more, the College offers a range of
potential pathways to new futures.
