VCE VM Students - Investing in our Future
I would like to share an email the College has received from EnerSys, who are facilitating the Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) for one of our VCE VM students. We are extremely proud of the student and wish him every success in this very promising career.

“I am writing to let you know how thankful I am for ‘student’ joining us as part of the structured workplace learning placement.

From the moment ‘student’ joined us, he has been nothing short of impressive. His respectful demeanour, good manners, and diligent work ethic have not gone unnoticed. He has integrated seamlessly into our team, contributing positively and showing a genuine eagerness to learn.

The structured workplace learning placement is an invaluable initiative, it aligns perfectly with our commitment to nurturing the next generation of skilled professionals. By guiding students like ‘student’ towards apprenticeships, we are not only investing in their future but also strengthening the industry as a whole.

We are delighted to have ‘student’ with us. His presence has been good for our team, and it is heartening to see a young individual so dedicated and hardworking. He is indeed a good student, and we are happy to be part of his journey.

Thank you once again for this wonderful collaboration. We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting more students in their pursuit of excellence.”
