Committee Reports:
Training & Development Committee
Submitted by Ally MacKay
This year has been an interesting one for us due to weather. We held AlphaChum training at the Alliston Learning Centre in November during a snowstorm. We looked at holding a training day in February, which we moved to March considering the weather and it as well was snowed out. We have rebooked the “Time Management Seminar” with Joanne Stuart for Friday June 6, 2003 at the Career Centre. We have included training for the Network meeting on May 9, with Joanne Stuart who will present “Storytelling”. On June 27 we are hosting FOCUS training.
We have scheduled for the fall a “New to Literacy Workshop” for people who are entering our field either as volunteers or as service providers. It is also a great refresher for anyone already working in the field. On Friday September 26, we will have a training seminar at the Orillia City Hall, topics to include media and writing.
We are looking at arranging for a motivational speaker for our September training date and if you know someone who you feel would be a good speaker please let one of the committee members know. If you are interested in joining this committee, we are looking for representation from all regions.
Planning & Evaluation Committee:
The P&E Committee submitted three project proposals to MTCU for consideration.
- Workplace Literacy Skills for People with Special Needs, Phase 2.
- Partnership Outreach Project: Workplace & Workforce, and
- Road to Reading Festival: How to Host a Literacy Event
| For further information on these projects, please contact the Network office or a member of the Planning & Evaluation Committee. |
| Outreach materials are now available! The Network has a small supply of personalized pens and note pads. |
