Stories about us

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is Generation Equality. Generation Equality is a call to action to join forces across generations, to create a world where every girl and woman has equal opportunities to fulfil their full potential. At MCC, we are celebrating our 70th year of delivering inclusive and affordable learning opportunities, unlocking learning and earning pathways for a very broad and diverse range of women  – in 2019 more than 70% of our students were female and from a range of ages between 18 and over 70 from a very diverse range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.

Once again, we are very pleased to share some highlights of independent, rigorous national research conducted by NCVER in 2019 summarising responses about accredited training delivered in 2018.

In our 2019 report we again have results that are better than the 2019 national average of all VET providers.

71.2% of respondents were not employed prior to training, with 28.3% of them moving into employment after training with Macquarie Community College.

Only 46% of people who made New Year’s resolutions were successful. This means more than half of the people who set a goal for the new year will fail! Make sure 2020 is your year for success!
