Supporting Student Success

The knowledge, practical skills and confidence I developed while studying at TAFE NSW have shown me it’s never too late to take a different career path, and to improve your skills in a new area,
Katayoon

Katayoon says she has a life she couldn’t have imagined when she first arrived in Australia, thanks to TAFE NSW. A Software Engineer in Iran, Katayoon came to Australia in 2006 with her husband, six months pregnant with her twin daughters and speaking English as a second language.

It was while volunteering at a local neighbourhood centre that Katayoon realised she enjoyed working with people more than machines and computers. It was a lightbulb moment.

She enrolled in an Introductory Community Services ‘taster’ course and has continued her learning journey, graduating from a Diploma of Community Services in 2017. Recently named the winner of the prestigious Vocational Student of the Year at the 2018 NSW Training Awards – Central Coast for her outstanding achievements, Katayoon is now working as Multi-Cultural Social Support Services Coordinator and Community Visitors Scheme Coordinator Community Services
