Ana Gozalo, SA\/NT Chapter Chair recently sat down with Steve to find out a little more about him\u2026<\/p>\n
What has been your pathway into the education and advancement sector?<\/strong><\/p>\n After leaving school, I completed an apprenticeship as my parents believed once you have a trade you\u2019re set for life…probably true at the time. In the years to follow, this provided me with the opportunity to work in community services where I supported people with a disability to find employment and relocate into the community and out of supported facilities – known as sheltered workshops at the time. At the same time, I enrolled to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree at the University of South Australia. From here I spent many years in the VET sector managing several Registered Training Organisations who delivered community services qualifications.<\/p>\n It wasn’t until 2015 when I was employed to start Adelaide International School located in Rundle Mall to deliver ELICOS programs and the SACE. Being an international school, I travelled overseas often and quickly became quite versed in different cultures and working with offshore schools and agents. Today, I work for Concordia College as the Head of International Student Programs. A far cry from leaving school to become an apprentice.<\/p>\n What\u2019s your favourite place of all the places you\u2019ve travelled?<\/strong><\/p>\n It would have to be Vietnam. It is such a beautiful country with so much to offer. The people are so humble and obliging and the food is out of this world.<\/p>\n If you were immortal, what age would you choose to stop aging at and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n 30 – you are old enough to have benefited and experienced from life\u2019s learning yet young enough to enjoy what life throws at you.<\/p>\n What was the worst job you ever had?<\/strong><\/p>\n None\u2026every job is an opportunity to learn and grow.<\/p>\n If you could choose any two famous people to have dinner with who would they be?<\/strong> If you could change places with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?<\/strong> If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?<\/strong> If you could eliminate one thing from your daily routine, what would it be and why?<\/strong>The dishes\u2026and I have a dishwasher\u2026go figure\u2026!<\/p>\n What was your favourite game to play as a child? What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong> When you die, what do you want to be remembered for?<\/strong> Steve Eden is the Head of International Student Programs at Concordia College and member of the Educate Plus SA\/NT Chapter Committee.
