Record training opportunities
Meanwhile Kiama & Shoalhaven Community Colleges have a record number of enrolments open in 2016. There are 40 nationally recognised qualifications available. Executive officer Helen Zwicker said courses had a strong employability focus and most had a workplace component. They range from Certificate to Diploma level in areas such as hairdressing, beauty therapy, business management, accounting and fitness. There are also leisure and interest courses. Enrolment is now open.
Oaks Hotel unlocks Doors.
The Oaks Hotel is not only cementing itself as a live venue. It is giving new local acts a chance to shine. Mrz Hyde was a hit when it performed on New Year’s Eve and on January 30 another new Wollongong band hits the stage. Unlocking the Doors is a tribute band that has been building a name from Sydney to Newcastle. Now the four Wollongong musicians are keen to show locals how they capture the magic of Jim Morrison and relive the music of The Doors.
