Central Coast Community College Transforms for the Future

OURIMBAH, Australia - June 9, 2014 - PRLog -- “The NSW State Government recently introduced Smart and Skilled which provides funding for vocational education and training aligned with community needs. We have restructured to maximise our core strengths and enable a greater focus on a number of key areas that will build on Smart and Skilled and provide just what the people of the Central Coast want from their community college,” said Mr Davis.

The College will offer programs in growth areas such as aged care and disability and will continue to build on its successful business training unit that provides customised training as well as courses in business administration, management and training and assessment.

“Customised training is a growth area with many employers investing in their staff with content relevant to their particular business, and delivered on site or on campus depending on their preference”, said Mr Davis.

President of the Central Coast Community College Board, Monique Webber, said “The College is set for a transformation that will ensure its relevance to the community for another 32 years and more. Our mission to champion lifelong learning has never been more relevant than today as unemployment rises.

“We will continue to support our youth, unemployed and people living with disability by providing relevant training to prepare them for the future. These are very exciting times for the College and the Board fully supports the consolidation and ultimate transformation of the College under Jonathan’s leadership.”

Central Coast Community College, located close to the train line at Ourimbah, has a proud tradition of connecting with students, business and industry to create local opportunities that make a difference to the region and the people in it.
