The courses, designed to meet t h e d e m a n d s o f d i v e r s e industries, promise to cultivate a new generation of skilled professionals.

Students who have successfully submitted their registration form and enrolled in their courses were eligible to attend the classes. The courses are not just educational; they're a gateway to meaningful careers. The addition of hairdressing to

the curriculum has also drawn attention by students as this showed the Coordinator's commitment to inclusivity and meeting the diverse interests of the student body.
