Holmesglen Institute

Holmesglen is a Victorian government owned institution but finds about half of its funding from private sources and works more like a private company. My role was a specialised one involving the use of application software to manage operations, and offering a personal service to both staff and students of the Institute. Colleagues were friendly and supportive, and clients came from a wide variety of cultures, educational backgrounds and abilities. This provided a challenging work environment, but with great job satisfaction when clients learning needs were met.

Day involves teaching 18-25 year olds about the sport industry and different aspects of it linked to units of competency. 

I learned that even in government, the most important thing is how much money the organisation makes and even a TAFE over an private RTO still does not care too much about the students best interest. 

The best part of working at a TAFE are good pay and working conditions, but little stability and your creativity, opinion and ideas are of no consequence. The organisaion looks from a negative mindset in terms of how to avoid loss and minimise risk rather than an optimistic one of looking at opportunities for growth and improvement.

Holmesglen has always been a leading educational provider who has moved with the changes and reinvented itself to meet internal and external influences.

There are many highly professional colleagues with years of skills and experiences and though the changing dynamics and increasing demands of compliance's have been challenging at times, Holmesglen and their professional and competent employees have succeeded to increase the educational bar.

The interaction between fellow colleagues and students is the most rewarding part of the job, especially at the end of the year when learners achievements are celebrated.

im currently working there, i enjoy working there as the people are great,friendly,supportive, and i love working in the kitchen. 
its always busy,and on going,sometimes we dont have lunch our choice tho if we think that it is busy and we need to keep going.
i learn about herbs and spices different ones, different ingredients chefs use for different foods, hardest art of the job is trying to push for more hours. being with the team and working hard having a laugh here and there.

a typical day, more than 30 staff needing information, direction, one on one, management meeting, project meetings, scheduling, continuous improvements.
the workplace culture is collaborative, friendly, and hardworking.
most enjoyable part of the job is managing a great team of dedicated teaching staff.
hardest part about the job is not being to do anything well, when you are time poor.

There is often not a typical day at my workplace due to working with a high number of students and staff. I am learning a great deal about the education and training sector, including the rewards and limitations. The workplace culture is friendly and easy going, noncompetitive and supportive for the most part. The hardest part of the job is being limited by budget/resources available. The most enjoyable part is community engagement.

I had a wonderful time at Holmesglen Institute with two great mentors that training me for couple weeks what need to be done on daily basic. The workplace culture incredibly fun and warming because I was always learning new things. For me, initiative and hardworking is a way of demonstrate our working habits. Therefore, I put my all in everything at work and never a day that is boring to me. I believe we all always learning and learning is fun.

As a student, I enjoyed learning more in depth about make up and was all very hands on, from evening, bridal, day wear and cat walk make up. It was enjoyable and very informative.

What I learnt, how to perfect every make up look. 

Management, brilliantly organised  

Culture, friendly, skillful and chatty

The hardest part, none. 

Enjoyable, learning more about something I am passionate about.

Working as a chef for the past 20 years it's time I teach what I've learnt and pass on my knowledge to up and coming chefs and students. Since beginning my apprenticeship at Crown I've learnt many different techniques and worked with a lot of chefs from around the world.

I have been a student in Holmesglen for almost 3 yrs and have gained a lot a experience, been a part of the administration office is something I would picture my self being it. I have would in an environment where I able to interact with people and learn new things everyday.
