October update...

Here we are again, really don't know where the weeks go. Still busy and, as always, looking for businesses and families to become part of the Training Partnership family, supporting and working with some of the most amazing students you could ever wish to meet.

Lots been happening and in no particular order here we go with the first October blog:
 

Debbie, our Programme Manager has been off sunning herself in Cape Verde (alright for some!) and arrived back at TTPL Towers on Thursday...just to make us all jealous she even supplied a photo! it looks glorious.

When asked for a quote for her picture she said...
" Enjoying a busy day in Cape Verde Islands!  Good to be back with all the TTPL team again "
We believe you Debs! Good to have you back :0)

Last week Wendy and I spent the day at Exeter Racecourse, this was at the brilliant Business Gives Back Expo, organised by the equally brilliant Dave Barr from The Best Of Exeter - what a fabulous day! Lunch with Exeter Chamber of Commerce and a whole day of networking. Met with some great businesses and now planning some follow up meetings to hopefully engage with some of them - all who attended had a really good day. I even had a split second of fame on BBC Spotlight - in the background obviously ;0)

Meanwhile, Jayne and Mia have had a very productive trip to San Diego, representing TTPL and Torbay they attended the WYSTC 2012 conference... a global event for the student travel and internship industry. A long trip with long flights but a worthwhile and exciting event.

While we are on the subject of travel...I will be off to Bucharest at the end of October for the British Coucil Higher Education event - looking forward to a really interesting time there.

Thursdays student meeting was at AMF Bowl in Torquay, over 60 students attended and all had a great time. It really is a great way for all our students to meet and chat socially, it's also a valuable and integral part of their experience here in South Devon. Next week there is a trip to the amazing Torquay Wheel...direct from the Olympic Park. We hope that all students who go enjoy the trip. Pictures will, I am sure, follow.

So, not a great deal else to report for now... please do share this blog with others and follow our progress.

 

See you all soon :0)
