"My favourite part about working at VU has been the opportunities I’ve been given to grow. I started in admin support for a small area and I’m now a team leader of a whole centre. I have a really great team and lots of opportunities for teamwork. When you work here you’re well supported to have a great work life balance and staff get some great benefits through our large network of partners. For me, the excitement of going to work every morning is still there even after 10 years!"

Joanna, People & Culture
"I get a kick out of seeing the students get excited about learning and knowing we’re setting them up to get employment. I’m passionate about my industry and teaching. I come to work every day knowing that what I do improves the outcomes and opportunities for our students. My team are all engaged and passionate and we work collaboratively, which I really enjoy.

Working at the Polytechnic I’ve been challenged to move to blended delivery and work with emerging technologies, which I’ve enjoyed and I know my practice as a teacher is always ahead of the game."
