EDUCATION NEWS Trisha turning tragedy to triumph at TAFE Trisha Williamson, a young mother of two, who lost her husband to a terminal illness, is determined to build a better future for her children through her study at North Coast TAFE. After the loss of her husband, Trisha found herself in the situation of being the major bread winner for her family. “I dropped out of school at an early age and worked casual jobs before having my kids, so I had very little to offer employers in the way of qualifications,” says Trisha. Trisha was determined to get the education she needed to ensure a better future for her children, so she enrolled in the Certificate II Skills for Work and Training course at Murwillumbah TAFE. “I never imagined that this course would open my eyes to so many possibilities. Originally I just wanted to gain a qualification that would help me reenter the workforce. Now, I am in the final six months of a Certificate IV Tertiary Preparation Course, which has given me a pathway to University,” says Trisha. “Many people believe that if you drop out of school you won’t have the opportunity to study at University. I will be the first in my family to go to university so I am thankful that TAFE have provided me with a way to achieve this,” says Trisha. “Now not only will I have better job prospects , I am also being a positive role model for my children.” For more information about enrolling in a Certificate II Skills for Work and Training to assist in returning to work or study, visit North Coast TAFE website (www. northcoast.tafensw.edu.au) or call the customer service 1300 628233. www.coffeeshop.goss.com.au > POTTSVILLE TO FINGAL > JULY 2014 5
