The community services qualification teaches students all aspects of working in a variety of local community roles. Since 1945, almost seven million people have migrated to Australia. This rich, cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths. Students will gain knowledge and skills to work with people from a variety of backgrounds.
Industry Community Fact – “The City of Parramatta population and household forecasts present what is driving population change in the community and how the population, age structure and household types will change each year between 2016 and 2041. The forecasts are designed to provide community groups, Council, investors, business, students and the general public with knowledge to make confident decisions about the future.” (1)
