  • Diploma of Community Services - Mental Health
  • Trained at Insight Training

With a longing to make a difference, and soul searching to find a career pathway that would align with her values and aspirations, Miley made the decision to leave a career in civil engineering and embark on a training journey that would allow her to discover "profound happiness and inner peace."

Driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the lives around her, and to serve the community and assist people in need, she enrolled in a Certificate IV of Community Services at South Metropolitan TAFE and recently completed a Diploma of Community Services — Mental Health at Insight Training. 

Miley has gained invaluable insight and says her training has profoundly impacted her personally and professionally, as her lecturers were industry professionals who provided practical approaches that helped her bridge the gap between theory and real world application.

Miley was also recognised as a finalist for the Vocational Student of the Year award at the 2024 Australian Training Awards.
