See what’s happening across the ACE community.
Courage can change the world – it really can.
We recently caught up with ACE graduates from across our College community to talk careers, motivation, pathways and ultimate goals. Check it out. What they have to say is refreshingly good stuff so we are sharing. If you are short on time we encourage you to select the location closest to you and start exploring.
“I was already working as a Wellbeing Carer in aged care before studying. I wanted to build on my experience by gaining formal qualifications and improving my skills.
The best part of my experience with ACE was the support. They were friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. The learning materials were easy to understand, and I felt encouraged. This course gave me the practical skills and knowledge, and helped me provide quality care every day. I now have a career that I genuinely enjoy and find rewarding.
It’s never too late to learn something new or change careers. Studying as an adult can be challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it. Believe in yourself, ask for help when you need it, and take one step at a time. I’m very glad I decided to do it.”
“Working for a year at a facility as a cleaner built up my confidence to try as an assistant in nursing or carer, so I applied for a company scholarship to complete the Certificate III in Individual Support and was successful in the position.
The best part about ACE is the hours, flexibility and the course schedule. It is very practical that you can work and study at the same time. I love the people and trainers, they are really excellent at their job.
I hope my story can inspire someone in the community. Learning never stops, no matter what your age and status!”
“I decided to pursue disability support work as a change of career. I’ve been working in hospitality for 16 years and I just thought I needed a change.
ACE Colleges has been really good, good resources, good staff, lots of helpful students as well. Work placement has also definitely helped me secure a new job. I think just take the leap of faith like I did, and hopefully it all works out.”
“I remember overhearing someone talk about courses available at ACE in passing and it instantly caught my attention. I was at a complete loss of what to do career wise and restless with my day to day living, I was searching for something more, and I absolutely found that something more.
Do it, do it for yourself, you will not regret it. With my course now complete I’m applying for a job that I truly care about at the workplace of my dreams.”
Think big about a sought after career. Pick something you love, sign up and give your study everything – you’ll be so glad you did. Be ready for next job opportunity.
