 INDIGENOUS EDUCATION CENTRE
The Indigenous Education Centres (IEC)
at our Bendigo and Echuca campuses
are innovative environments that foster
and promote Indigenous learning,
while supporting Indigenous students
undertaking study and training in
a wide array of courses across the
institute.
Honouring the traditional landowners
of the area across Bendigo and Echuca
which include the Djaara people of the Dja
Dja Wurrung and the Wollithiga people of
the Yorta Yorta Nation, the centre merges
the cultural heritage and values of these
landowners with contemporary Aboriginal
culture and strong networks with key
Aboriginal organisations to ensure that
our students are supported through their
time with us.
As one of the state’s largest providers of
training and education, Bendigo TAFE
delivers a range of courses and programs.
Our courses are designed in consultation
HOSPITALITY, TRAVEL & TOURISM COURSE GUIDE 2019
with communities and employers which
means that Aboriginal students gain skills
and knowledge while improving their
networks and employment options.
The Indigenous Education Centre plays an
important role in supporting Aboriginal
students at Bendigo TAFE, providing
them with a welcoming environment at all
times and assisting them where required
to find the course of their choice, getting
enrolled and starting their training.
14
OUR STUDENTS
The IEC welcomes all Indigenous
Australians. Our students come from
many different backgrounds ranging from
early school leavers to people over 50.
We support students engaged in a variety
of courses across the institute, from
foundation to entry level courses which
include literacy, numeracy and computer
skills, cultural education and advanced
courses from the Certificate I level all the
way to diplomas and advanced diplomas.
Students learn through a combination of
classroom, practical, flexible and online
learning techniques.
A majority of the students engage in the
course of their choice at the TAFE and use
the IEC for social activities or for support
(if required). We also conduct a number
of events through the year, celebrating
Aboriginal culture and key milestones to
which all the students are invited to along
with their friends and family.
Most importantly, we have dedicated
Indigenous Liaison Officers (Male and
Female) based at the IEC to assist
students in accessing the full range of
support services through the institute, as
well as helping them navigate their way
in dealing with government agencies and
other relevant organisations.
OUR PARTNERSHIPS
The IEC has forged strong relationships
with key Aboriginal organisations
across Victoria. We work closely with
these organisations to ensure that
our students have access to all the
resources they require throughout
their time with us. We also encourage
our students to form and establish
their own relationships with these
organisations and support facilities in
order to continue working with them as
they move from their TAFE course into
a career.
