Great entree into industry

-

ONE of the many shining lights of Rosny College is the range of Vocational Education and Training programs on offer that are nationally recognised and delivered by experience­d industry trained teachers.

From Automotive, Constructi­on, Tourism and Aged Care programs right through to Retail Cosmetics, Outdoor Recreation and many more, there is an extensive array of options to suit a wide range of students.

It is through VET programs like Hospitalit­y that students can really focus on their future career options and master the skills required for the workforce.

Hospitalit­y students are successful­ly trained in Commercial Cookery, Food and Beverage and Espresso Coffee Making, gaining valuable lifelong skills that can open up a world of opportunit­y.

The Rosny College Hospitalit­y program operates The Break Café daily at the college for students and staff to enjoy.

The café is run by classes who make and serve a variety of freshly made, delicious treats as well as providing the much needed morning coffee.

Students develop confidence in their ability to prepare food, work in a team, handle money and serve customers in an industry realistic setting aimed at developing the necessary skills required for students to join the workforce.

VET students are given the opportunit­y to participat­e in several vocational work placements in a variety of local hospitalit­y establishm­ents.

These placements provide a genuine taste of the skills required for working in this growing industry.

Long-time supporter of the VET programs at Rosny College, Hotel Grand Chancellor, gives students experience through work placement opportunit­ies in Food and Beverage and Cookery.

Feedback received from a senior chef at the hotel describes Rosny students as being “ready to be in the workplace and having profession­al attitudes at all times.”

This feedback is an indication of the quality of the programs offered at Rosny College and the outcomes achieved by students.

Rosny College also provides courses in Food and Hospitalit­y Enterprise and Food and Nutrition, which introduce students to cookery and the hospitalit­y industry.
