Celebrating a 10 year partnership
Graduates, staff and students came together in December to celebrate the
10th anniversary of an agreement between UniSA and TAFE targeted at helping
people to access higher education.
In 1993 UniSA and TAFE established a Graduate Certificate in Management Program delivered at the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, and now 10 years on, many of the program’s graduates are among the state’s top professionals.
Graduates of the program include Laura Fell (a chicken farmer and one of the first women to represent the industry on an international scale), John Doherty (ABC’s head of international operations) and Brian Clancey (director of legislation and environment for the Local Government Association).
UniSA’s Strategic Partnerships business manager Ross Morriss said the program had proven to be an excellent means for those with significant management experience but no university degree to allow them to study at a postgraduate level.
“The program format eases students back into study and importantly adds value to prior learning experiences,” he said.
“The University recognises the value of prior learning in programs such as the Graduate Certificate in Management and students thrive in the program, many of them continuing on to do their MBA and proving to be some of the best students we have.”
