Job offer after career course
A 64-year-old Umina woman has been offered a part-time job after completing a TAFE course for women wanting to re-enter the workforce.
Helen Fitzgerald recently completed the Career Education and Employment for Women Course.
She said she would thoroughly recommend the course to any woman wanting to re-enter the workforce.
"I had been out of the workforce a while and I was lacking in confidence," said Ms Fitzgerald. "But now I've built up my confidence and I'm going back next semester to do a business administration course."
While doing the course Helen carried out work experience at Zita's Restaurant, and has since been offered a part-time job at the restaurant.
The 18-week course is running in semester two and offers subjects including English, Maths, Computing, Aged Care, Horticulture, Careers and First Aid.
The course will start on July 27.
