Become part of the future of regional education in the Mudgee Region.

Sponsor

Through our Centre, we currently provide support to 150 students who are studying hundreds of different degrees through more than 38 higher education providers across Australia.

The need to support regional higher education students is unequivocal with those living in country areas half as likely to obtain a degree than their metropolitan counterparts.

We know that students who study locally are more likely to engage in the local workforce, providing country businesses with new opportunities to employ highly trained local professionals. That’s what makes our local community ownership and support so critical to our success.

We are humbled with the support received from the NSW Government, the Commonwealth Government, Midwestern Regional Council, Glencore, ACEN Renewables, and Peabody Energy, which has been instrumental in seeding our growth; however, in order to maintain our excellent service to our communities we constantly need to be looking for new ways to enhance our services.

We are on the lookout for new community champions who are interested in providing community support, engagement, and ongoing partnerships to continue to provide this essential service in the mid to long-term. Any collaboration would help support regional and rural communities to learn and excel.
