Graduate business managers in northern Victoria and southern NSW seeking to upgrade their qualifications with face-to-face postgraduate studies closer to home are one step closer with an agreement to be signed by the Australian Graduate Management Consortium (AGMC) and Bendigo Regional Institute of TAFE (BRIT) on Friday 11 May. As part of the Australian Graduate Management Consortium, BRIT staff will deliver Charles Sturt University (CSU) courses that will lead to a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Management, which are part of the University’s Master of Management program. An agreement allowing NSW Riverina Institute of TAFE to offer similar courses at its Albury, Wagga and Griffiths sites is due to be signed later this year. National Coordinator of the CSU program, Jan Knox said,,”The AGMC Programs are a innovative way of delivering graduate study opportunities to students throughout inland Australia”. The CSU-BRIT agreement will be signed at 11.30am on Friday 11 May in Bendigo.
