International experience in education is one of the critical factors
in the growth and development of a world perspective in a global
economy. For students, gaining and maintaining a competitive edge
in the marketplace is a keynote for their success. The right qualifications
in education and training are paramount in achieving opportunities
and recognition. Moreover, an understanding of the world is also
important for students confronting the challenge of international
competition.
The AAEC is a new and exciting system
of Higher Education across the Pacific featuring the best of both
the Australian TAFE and the American
Community College systems, combined
with the best in E and Distance Education at University level in
Australia and America. This new Dual Mode system is accessible,
flexible and affordable.
Studying abroad is something some students can only dream about
with prohibitive costs of travel and study programs. A new initiative
that focuses on the TAFE sector in Australia and the Community College
system in America now means more students can travel, study and
work in an exciting environment in Australia and the USA.
While studying abroad is not a new concept, different international
standards in education often means subjects and courses from one
country are neither recognized nor accepted
in another. This new initiative between three institutions in Australia
and two in America ensures studying particular courses in either
country will have reciprocal academic standing and recognition of
achievement.
The AAEC (Australian American Education Center) has been established
by Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE (NMIT) - Melbourne Australia
and GreenRiver Community College (GRCC) - Seattle USA.
It is administered from Melbourne, Australia and Seattle USA, by
NMIT in conjunction with Green River Community College.
The AAEC administers inquiries from students and maintains records
of the student's achievement throughout their course of study. Each
member institution attended by the student maintains permanent transcripts
and student achievements.
