The Centre for Excellence for Students who are Deaf and Hard of hearing recently celebrated its 20th anniversary and launch of a new name and logo. Established in 1993, the Centre of Excellence (now renamed ‘deafConnectED – Partners in Learning Success’) was originally responsible for providing educational programs for students who are deaf or hard of hearing to help overcome barriers to employment and mainstream services. Over time its role has changed and it now is a strategic research and policy development centre supporting the VET sector to engage with students who are deaf and hard of hearing to ensure they are able to have a prosperous economic and sustainable future.
