Janelle is often the very first person students connect with at BTA, a leading institution in boarding training Australia. She provides support across every stage of their experience — from initial enquiries and enrolment, through ongoing communication and learning support, right up to graduation and continued engagement as alumni. Her role ensures that students feel guided, informed, and valued throughout their training journey. Joining BTA in 2018, Janelle brought with her a strong background in administration and exceptional organisational skills, which have been vital in creating professional pathways for students. She has since become a trusted and knowledgeable point of contact for students, trainers and assessors, as well as partners alike. Her attention to detail and proactive approach help keep our courses running smoothly and our learners well-supported. Janelle is passionate about helping people achieve their goals. She takes great pride in encouraging students, celebrating their achievements, and making sure they have what they need to succeed. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is seeing students build confidence, apply new skills in real-world contexts, and continue developing long after they complete their qualification.
