NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 19/08/2024
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Mish Eastman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Vocational Education and Vice-President, talking about National Skills Week (19-26 August) and celebrating vocational education. National Skills Week shines a light on the breadth and diversity of vocational education and what it has to offer. VET offers more than 150 courses available in areas beyond trades including business and finance, ICT, nursing, manufacturing, engineering, cybersecurity and more.
Simone Tawadros, Zyrtec Spokesperson, talking about the new research revealing the impact of allergic rhinitis in Australian children. Allergic rhinitis results in symptoms that can cause sneezing, runny noses and watery, itchy eyes. While Australians know the symptoms of hay fever, symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be triggered all-year-round by things like dust, pet dander and mould. For more information about allergic rhinitis visit the Zyrtec website down below!
