Ms Glassop, who boasts almost 30 years experience in the industry, has spent half of that time teaching hospitality, tourism and events at TAFE NSW Ultimo. Excited by the tree change, she is looking forward to sharing her knowledge and enhancing education and training opportunities in the Forbes and Central West communities.
“I felt it was time to take on a new challenge and bring a love of all things hospitality, tourism and events to a region with a strong reputation in these areas,” she said.
“Moving out of the city to a vibrant regional area was also a big incentive and I haven’t been disappointed. I love the region and the endless opportunities to be involved in the local tourism and hospitality industry.
“I am most passionate about helping students get the skills needed for the job they want. If I can enthuse them to love what they do, the learning process will happen naturally and they can aspire to be whatever they want to be,” she said.
Ms Glassop said there are some exciting courses available for enrolment now at TAFE NSW Forbes for semester two.
“This is the perfect time for students who are about to finish school to gain some qualifications to enter the industry or for employees to do some further study to get that promotion,” she said.
“TAFE NSW is also able to offer customised training support and workshops to local hospitality, tourism and events businesses who want to enhance their customer experience.”
