Charles Sturt University (CSU) and TAFE NSW Riverina Institute will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) next week to give people in Deniliquin the opportunity to study for a Diploma-Degree in Social Work. CSU’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Ross Chambers said “We see our partnership as an important step in providing regional students with access to education. Social work is more relevant than ever to the needs of our rural and regional communities, and job prospects are very high as we are seeing gaps in service delivery accentuated by our worst drought in history.” Charles Sturt University is acknowledged as a leading provider of social work graduates. Professor Chambers and Ms Rosemary Campbell, Director of the Riverina Institute, will officially sign the MoU on behalf of their institutions.
