Creative Links: Join the Discussion and Explore Your Career Options at University of Sydney

Is it possible to engage popular action to protect human rights without a populist approach? What is life like as a professional contemporary artist in Australia? How can training in music, the humanities, or creative arts, translate to building a unique career?

Applying creative solutions to social issues can lead to individuals building exceptional careers.

We invite you to join us at our postgraduate roundtable event, ‘Creative Links’, and to hear from our expert panel of academics as they discuss why their work matters to the world around us and how you too can make a difference.

Our academics will engage with the latest innovative thinking in the areas of education, music, teaching, creative and visual arts, music, architecture, and democratisation.

This event will suit anybody interested in building a career by linking music, humanities or creative arts to industry.

There are three components to this event:

Postgraduate information session: where you can speak to academic members of staff about your future postgraduate study opportunities in these fields.

Creative links symposium: bite-sized talks from experts in education, architecture, music, creative arts and democratisation.

Speakers will include Lindy Lee, one of Australia’s foremost contemporary artists, who will be discussing life as a professional artist in Australia.

Also to give a talk will be Dannielle Celermajer, who will explore how ideas can be transitioned from places like Universities into the field and what academics can do to improve human rights. Is it possible to engage popular action to protect human rights, while avoiding the ‘traps of the simple’ or should we support a creative populist approach like the Kony Video?

Interactive Displays and Performances: featuring performance artist Renny Kodgers, an interactive smart slab created by students from the Interaction Design and Electronic Arts program, as well as a live performance from the Dan Laboyrie trio.

This event will be held on Wednesday 16 May from 5 – 7:30pm at the Seymour Centre. Registrations are essential and there is no cost for this event.

UQ, USC and TAFE Sunshine Coast work together on Health Training Program

Health training boost provided to help with the shortage of Doctors and Nurses in QLD.

With a guarantee to build the Sunshine Coast’s new $2 billion hospital in the pipeline, the answer to kick starting this off is the newly appointed $60.8 million training centre earmarked for the Kawana Region and construction is looking to start from 2013 including the construction of the Sunshine Coast Private hospital.

The new training centre will have the capacity to train up to 1300 doctors, nurses and allied health professionals every year to work in our hospitals and medical centres. Staff and students will also contribute to local research projects too.

Deputy Premier and Health Minister Paul Lucas announced the project yesterday and stated that the program was a combined effort by the University of Queensland, University of the Sunshine Coast and TAFE Sunshine Coast, who are all working together under the one roof, providing the next generation of health professionals.

As some of the most popular courses this year fall under the Nursing or Allied Health banner, the demand for something like this is a sign of good future planning by both Insitutes, Government and Industry.

For Year 11 and 12 students this means they can get a head start on these career paths now with Vocational training and education and then once graduated then can use the qualifications to gain credit on the Registered Nursing and Enrolled Nurses courses and other related courses (please note that you must read the policy of the Institutes in hand to determine the credit/RPL process).

These pathways are vital for career development as it defines what is requried and achievements needed to enter the Health Industry. So with developments like this it opens up better options for students who are interested in a career in Health, Medicine or Allied Health can consider programs like this to optimise their training in state of the art facilities and having the backing of 3 reputable Institutes supporting you too.

For more information on locating courses that offer health related courses jump onto www.studyfinder.com.au and start searching for courses in the health, medical industries.
