Germany in the fast training lane
Some of you may have read my quick blurb on vouchers and Australia’s lack of vision in regard to education and training (still waiting for a reply of the Minister).

Sunday Learning
What did you learn this week? It’s truly a pitiful week if you haven’t learnt something. Life is far too complex and interesting not to have been exposed to something new, creative, interesting or intriguing. If you had slow week of learning then watch the video below.

TAFE NSW is going to change but is it for the better?
Where is education and training going? My last few blog posts have been linked and I can assure you it wasn’t planned. It is just something I have been thinking about a lot lately.

A future that doesn’t look that different
