Bendigo TAFE’s McGillivray Hall had it all this morning—the setting a perfect space for the annual BSSC Industry Engagement Breakfast.
With a huge range of stalls for our Year 11 and 12 students to visit—plus a scavenger hunt, giveaways, and, of course a free brekky—the event was an ideal opportunity to link students with local employers, explore apprenticeships, and meet industry representatives.
“It’s such a fantastic chance for students to have conversations, ask questions and discover what might be available to them beyond school,” says Lucy Clark, BSSC Assistant Principal.
These conversations help our students make more informed decisions about their next steps, whether that is through an apprenticeship, further training, or employment.

Yarrawonga Manufactured Housing
