Last Minute Blog Time...

Agggh... where has the week gone?

This has been a very busy week for us all...in a good way :0)

We have had Alex, our work experience student with us from South Devon College - what a credit to herself and her tutors...a great girl with, I am sure, a great future. Thank you Alex for all you have done for us.

Our group participating in the Graduate Teachers Programme accompanied Bill Callaghan, our Education Specialist, on visits to the Torquay Job Centre for a“customer journey” as well as Connections and the Town Hall. The visits were part of the 6 week training course the Teachers are undertaking to learn about the UK Education system and application process.Thank you to Torquay Job Centre, Connections and the Town Hall for allowing us the opportunity to visit!

The week started with a vist to St Loyes in Exeter - a really great place with some fantastic people and opportunities. we are very pleased to be working with them and feel sure that the students who are going to ejoy their placements there will have a marvelous time.

Tuesday saw another really good network meeting at the Grand Hotel - such a good group of people and a lovely view of the bay to enjoy with a hearty breakfast.

Wednesday brought a Lupton House in Brixham... what a great place. Met Janet and Francis, placed a student with them and discovered an exciting new venue for our student meetings - and all thanks to 'Brixham' Bill Callaghan from Palletopia - Thank you Bill.

Thusday was student meeting day and all our students enjoyed a bit of Torbay culture at the Torquay Museum - thanks once again to the museum staff for a very enjoyable afternoon

And now its Friday... 3rd Friday at Ivybridge, huge thanks to Michael Clark from Clark Jennings Solicitors. He gave a very informative talk on the perils of Social Media and steps we could all take to protect ourselves and our businesses.

New couour printer arrived today so chaos in the office as we had to install and find the thing - not sure why we couldnt 'find' it as we could all see it! :0) However, thanks ti Kornel from 1-zero-1 and Nick our 'copier' guy... everything works - woo hoo!

Have a wonderful weekend...Radio 1 visiting Paignton and the Olympic Torch making it's way accross the Bay... in addition to the usuall fun stuff available to everyone lucky enough to be in Tornay this weekend.
