What could your future look like if you had the chance to try it first?

Last week, around 70 young women from ACT public schools joined us at CIT Bruce for Try a Trade Day, where they got hands-on experience across a range of trades.

From tiling, carpentry, welding, plumbing, painting, landscaping and live firefighting, student had the opportunity to try new skills, use industry-tools and learn from our CIT teachers and industry professionals.

The day was all about building confidence, exploring new possibilities and showing where a trade could take them.

Which trade would you try first? Tell us in the comments. 🔨🔧🔥

A taste of Italy came to the CIT kitchens! 🍽️👨‍🍳🧀

Last week our culinary and hospitality students had the opportunity to learn from renowned Italian chef and TV personality Chef Luca Ciano.

Our students picked up new techniques and created dishes inspired by Italian flavours, with taking centre stage. Fresh truffles from The Truffle Farm Canberra made the experience even more special.

The masterclass was a great opportunity for our students to learn from an industry professional, build practical skills and try something new in the kitchen.

Grazie, Luca!

Hospitality students brought their skills to life preparing and serving breakfast for guests. Barista students showcased their craft, coffee in hand for every visitor. Floristry students put their training on display through the event's floral arrangements. Alongside these, student showcases and hands-on demonstrations gave guests a closer look at the skills CIT students are building across the board.
