Graduate stories

Anne-Marie, NCAT

The program is amazing. It has given me knowledge, confidence, and an immense amount of satisfaction. I started this at nearly 50 years of age and have attained so much from it, and the people I've met will be lifelong friends. I would recommend this program to any Indigenous person of any age and ability.

Jesse, Client Services Officer

This program has given me the opportunity to follow a new career path [and] has opened doors to many other avenues in my life of which I am very thankful for…

I would highly recommend this program for anybody who is thinking of taking a step in a new direction.

Information alert

Please note that at DCJ we commonly use the word "Aboriginal", recognising that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants of NSW, the part of Australia we are responsible for. We acknowledge and respect that Torres Strait Islander people are among the First Nations of Australia and that both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are an important part of our staff and the communities we work with.
