Alumni at Heathmont College
Aside from providing first class education to students and employing amazing teachers, Heathmont College also provides a wide range of work opportunities encompassing a wide range of skills, qualifications, experience and interests. We are very fortunate to welcome back several of our past students to undertake some of the roles. We have found that having past students work with us not only provides them with authentic real-world work experience that supports their career pathways, but is also highly advantageous for the College as they already a great rapport with the community and knowledge of our policies and procedures.
Please enjoy hearing about two of our former students who are now employed with us!
