Time for trade opportunities

Students at the trade gala.

 Hallam students got a taste for trades through a showcase evening.

The Hallam Senior College hosted the gala on Wednesday 20 June and industry partners, parents and students attended.

Students demonstrated the skills linked to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificates offered at the college through the Hallam Valley Trade Training Centre.

Trades on display included automotive, building and construction, integrated technology, hospitality, plumbing, furniture making, and hair and beauty.

The hospitality students treated guests to a three-course dinner.

The evening also included the announcement of the latest winners of the HIA apprenticeship scholarships, Chantelle Crew and Daniel Webster.

Both students were thrilled to have their hard work and dedication to education and training recognised, and intend on pursuing careers in the trades.
