Celine Noort brings over a decade of experience in vocational education, building on a rich background in retail across multiple industries. Originally from France, Celine has lived in Australia for the past 28 years and has worked in diverse sectors, including fashion (clothing and accessories), luxury brands (Tiffany & Co.) and para-pharmaceuticals (as a Pharmacy Retail Manager).

Celine believes that retail and hospitality are the foundations of all careers, as these industries teach essential life skills. She views the art of selling—essentially the art of listening—as a universal skill that can be applied to nearly any profession.

A natural problem-solver, Celine is passionate about uncovering pathways where none seem obvious. She excels at finding the common thread in varied resumes and helping individuals craft qualifications that tie their experiences together. Her training is always practical and relatable, as she draws on her wide-ranging industry experience to provide real-world examples that resonate with her audience.

Celine is committed to making vocational education accessible and impactful. She tailors her training to ensure students can immediately apply what they have learned in the workplace. Her ultimate goal is to inspire other trainers and organisations to elevate vocational education as a respected and purposeful career pathway, rather than a secondary option.

Celine envisions vocational education as a premium choice, where individuals can refine practical skills and build highly successful careers. Through her work, she aims to shape an industry that celebrates the value and potential of vocational pathways.

We are delighted to welcome Celine to the VTS teaching staff, bringing her extensive experience in vocational education, retail, and hospitality, along with her passion for creating meaningful learning pathways and empowering students to achieve their full potential.
