Certificate IV in Wool classing Certificate Presentation 2008
With the acknowledged acute shortage of qualified wool classers in the Omeo region early in 2006, eight Swifts Creek Secondary College students and nine adults enrolled in Certificate 11 in Wool Handling; the adults went on to Certificate 111 in Wool Clip Preparation and successfully complete Certificate IV in Wool Classing.
In 2006 adult students travelled to the Landmark Wool Store in Brooklyn, CSIRO Textile and Fibre Technology plant in Belmont and the wool testing authority in Melbourne.
The program attracted significant support from a number local and regional organisation, working together to provide opportunities and to support students throughout their training. (Please look at the notice board)
Local farmers offered significant support by generously allowing students access to local shearing sheds so students could “learn in the workplace”. In doing so the group also had the opportunity to interact with farmers, shearers and other shed workers enabling them to build strong networks within the industry. Also thankyou to Murray Kibble, Manager, Swifts Creek Community Centre.
EG TAFE and students would like to recognize an appreciation to Bob Websdale, tutor/mentor for his determination, patience and support of students enabling them to successfully complete the course.
Congratulations to the seven students who completed the Certificate IV in Wool Classing course. EG TAFE believes this program has been a positive step towards meeting the needs of local farmers and the wool industry to assist in the skills shortage of qualified wool classers.
Students to receive Certificate IV in Wool Classing Certificates are:
Felicity Adams
Wayne Dyer an apology
