Student Success Stories
HANNAH BALANCES WORK AND STUDIES TO UNLOCK HER BRIGHT FUTURE
Hannah was in her final year of high school, and like many of us, struggling to figure out what she wanted to do with her future. ‘I was working part-time at a restaurant and was extremely lost with what I wanted to do.’ She says.
Hannah discovered The Career Academy through the recommendation of a friend and decided to enrol. ‘I chose The Career Academy because the wide variety of courses they have to offer was extremely appealing and exactly what I was looking for.’ It wasn’t just the range of choices that appealed to Hannah – studying online meant that she was able to be in control of her study rather than her schedule being dictated by a fixed timetable.
‘I also liked the structure and flexibility the courses provided, the level of independence the courses allowed was something I really enjoyed about TCA. It meant I was able to work on my time management skills and be in control of my schedule. I liked how well the course was outlined and that it was easy to understand. Another plus was the use of forums, as this meant I could engage with other students.’
The flexibility that The Career Academy offered also meant that Hannah was able to continue working throughout her studies. ‘Studying at The Career Academy meant I was able to balance work and study well. At the time, I was waitressing at night and on the weekend, but The Career Academy’s course structure meant I could study at times that suited my schedule best.’
It didn’t take long after completing her course for Hannah to land a new job. ‘I was given the opportunity to work as a sales administrator for a local packaging company. The knowledge gained from my course has certainly helped in my sales administration role. It gave me a great insight into the administration world, and helped make the transition into this role extremely smooth.’
Hannah’s journey is far from over, and she’s now decided to enrol in a Bachelor of Business to continue her career journey. ‘Completing my course with The Career Academy straight out of school was one of the best decisions I could have made. It was such a good start to my career and really helped me find what I was passionate about.’
Hannah studied the Certificate in Reception & Office Support – a comprehensive 10-week course designed to give you the skills to kickstart your reception career including effective business communication, customer service, health and safety, and an introduction to Microsoft Word.
