New Opportunities for<br />
Women<br />
Course aims and description<br />
The course is designed to provide women who have<br />
little background in mathematics, science or engineering,<br />
with the necessary skills and concepts to enable them to<br />
compete for and gain employment and/or training in nontraditional<br />
science or engineering fields. It also provides<br />
immediate rewards such as self-enrichment.<br />
Following the successful completion <strong>of</strong> appropriate<br />
subjects, students may wish to progress to mature-age VCE,<br />
or apply for a mature-age entry into a related TAFE course<br />
such as nursing or naturopathy.<br />
Career potential<br />
This course will improve students' access to many<br />
career fields, such as paramedical, environmental science,<br />
applied science, engineering and trade.<br />
Entry requirements<br />
There are no formal prerequisites.<br />

Graduate Certificate courses<br />
4190~1~ Graduate Certificate in<br />
Cleaner Production<br />
Course aims and description<br />
The Graduate Certificate in Cleaner Production has been<br />
developed in conjunction with industry representatives as<br />
well as the Australian Centre for Cleaner Production to<br />
ensure that the subjects <strong>of</strong>fered provide a comprehensive<br />
training program in the principles and practices <strong>of</strong> cleaner<br />
production.<br />
Career potential<br />
Local and international markets are becoming more<br />
environmentally aware. There is also mounting legislative<br />
and economic pressures for industries to adopt the<br />
philosophies and practices <strong>of</strong> cleaner production.<br />
Industries which adopt an environmentally orientated<br />
approach will gain a competitive edge. This will lead to the<br />
need to engage staff with the knowledge and skills to<br />
identify, advise, monitor and implement the requirements<br />
for cleaner production.<br />
