HVTC and Central Coast Community College have rebranded to Zeal Futures; one unified name and brand identity to propel the organisation into the future.

CEO of Zeal Futures, Sharon Smith, said the rebrand marks an exciting new chapter in the organisation’s 43-year history; once four brands sharing a common passion to help everyone thrive, now united as Zeal Futures.

“The launch of Zeal Futures is an exciting time for our organisation, to ensure we stand out from the crowd and make our mark as industry leaders,” she said.

“Our story began in 1981 in the Hunter, with two employees and one project, paving the way for us to change thousands of lives through vocational education and training (VET).

“Over the years our dedication has allowed us to evolve, while creating strong connections to people, industry, business, and community.”

Zeal Futures now employs more than 800 staff, apprentices and trainees; and operates from 10 offices servicing clients in NSW, Queensland and the ACT, with three campus locations to deliver skills training and community education programs.

“We’re proud to have created career and learning opportunities for more than 38,000than 38,000 people across hundreds of vocations and industries, and numbers continue to grow as we do,” Sharon added.

“At Zeal Futures, our vision is to be the first choice for learning and employment in Australia. Our award-winning team takes a tailored approach, because no two people or businesses are the same.

“Through our innovative training programs, personalised support, and strong industry partnerships, we empower individuals, including apprentices, trainees, and students, and our partners, to achieve their goals and realize their full potential. At Zeal Futures, we create success stories.”

Robert Cameron AO, Chairman of Zeal Futures, added that Zeal Futures represents the future of our skilled workforce, and the future of business and industry in Australia.

“While our name and brand identity has evolved, our commitment and dedication to the important work we do in the community and the VET sector remains unchanged,” Robert said.

“Strategically, our rebrand to Zeal Futures will enhance our capabilities and deliver even greater value to the people, businesses, and community partners that we work with. It will allow us to continue to grow and expand into new locations and stand out in a competitive market.

“We are thrilled to introduce Zeal Futures as the embodiment of our heritage, vision, purpose, and proposition. With this rebrand, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering individuals, creating success stories and making a positive impact in our community.”
