We really are very busy at the moment and are currently building another record year (on top of last years record year!)
Apart from the sheer volume of students choosing to enjoy their work placements in Torbay we also seem to be a very popular choice for delegate visits...
We are currently hosting a group of German teachers who are interested in the integration of SEN students into mainstream education...we have arranged training sessions with a number of local providers - huge thanks to Bill Callaghan and Sabina Rademacher who have (and will continue) deliver some excellent course content. We also took the group out to South Dartmoor Community College in Ashburton...what an inspiring school - they hosted our German group for a morning and arranged for them to spend time in classrooms with their students - fantastic! Then they (the delegate group) enjoyed an hour or two walking around Hay Tor.
We are also looking forward to hosting a group of French Nurses, more about that when they are here but we already have a great programme planned with more training sessions and talks from Healthcare Professionals from around the area.
The trainees met with Debbie and Sue on Saturday 21st April for a “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Your Stay (But were Afraid to Ask)!” session and there was lots of questions and laughter! The trainees are already becoming friends and we look forward to extending a warm welcome to them when they arrive in May.
Just had a great meeting with Katina Read from Splash Publicity , she is doing some work for the TDA and SWIC and is visiting us to get some 'good news' stories to promote business in Torbay...Should be interesting.
As always we are actively seeking new work placements - we have about 50 young Italians arriving in June/July who will be getting out into the Bay and working with local businesses, shops, retailers etc...will your business be one of them? and on a similar note...does anyone fancy becominig one of our Host Families? Each of our students will need a warm, friendly host to accomodate them.
We are also looking forward to our annual Romanian group, very high quality students with a great attitude to work and self improvement, this year we have an added bonus of a group of Lecturers from the RAU (Romanian American University) in Budapest who will be here to enjoy a programme of events and training...exciting times.
Oh, one final point...Sue is still a non-smoker, well done Sue! Mia has lapsed, just a little, and is currently down to just 20 per week...Keep on going Mia, you'll get there eventually!
Thats all for now...see you all soon!
