Your invitation to a game changer of an event on August 19!
The theme for National Skills Week this year is ‘Game Changer’, so we’ve created an event that shares information on how Vocational Education and Training can ignite paths to personal and professional success, and give you a competitive edge with the skills and confidence to thrive. It’s a great way to get some direction for your future and start making plans about the path you want to take.
