What a great turnout we had last week for our “induction sessions” in at the CAE.

Jill starts:  I really enjoyed meeting the new project participants today, and, of course, seeing a few who are continuing from last year. In the short time available to brainstorm the vast realm of everything ‘e’, we mapped our different students and contexts, identifying immediate needs and a range of ‘wish list’ skills and possible projects. Centres and course covered: vocational and pre-vocational certificates, VCAL, ESL Certificates and a range of short courses (too numerous to mention). Needs included: communication technology for web conferencing (online staff meetings, verification meetings, VCE Read More …
