Lucy and Rebecca worked together to develop an innovative project that integrated career development into subjects within the Cert IV Business (Marketing). The aim of this project was to motivate students and increase retention and it is an excellent example of collaboration. This collaboration between the Department of Student Career Development and VE illustrates how the sharing of knowledge can lead to innovation and improved outcomes for our students.

The Health Language and literacy Team have demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing the student experience through developing unique programs for students wanting to pursue health related careers. This team has provided programs for an enormous range of students, both those already holding health qualifications from overseas who want to continue their career within Australia and those who are new-comers to this area of study. This award recognises the responsiveness of this team in continually adapting and renewing programs allowing for students needs to be met and successful outcomes achieved.
