My VET Success Story
The knowledge and network I gained from the VET Dance course also allowed me to gain employment in the performing arts industry, giving me the opportunity to earn money while I was at university. I was also fortunate enough to help teach the VET Dance course and many other classes at Isolation Performing Arts Studio. It was great to be able to pass on my skills and knowledge to the next generation of students.
My Advice
Take every opportunity to gain experience and knowledge from industry-based teachers and professionals. If you can combine a passion of yours with school it makes learning so much easier and enjoyable because you’re excited to go to class every week!
