Paul moves onwards and upwards

The first person who explained to me the ins and outs of Kangan Batman TAFE in a way I understood, Paul Harrington is moving on. He submitted his letter of resignation today and is off to do something with refrigeration. Paul is always of good humour, sanguine about his role on the "system" that keeps us gainfully engaged and eternally friendly. His no nonsense approach to project management is something I would love to emulate. He managed the Teaching and Learning unit at our Richmond campus and was the Automotive Curiculum Maintenace Manager - a role I have never fully undestood, but I think it is important.

Just back from Darwin

Spent last four days interviewing representatives from NT Skills Councils to gather stories of how Training Packages are used in delivery to Indigenous learners. Main concern of the reps was the lack of consultation of National Skills councils when they develop or review Training Packages.
Ahh th epolitics o fthe VET system, evwer complex and ever a simple matter of personalities.
