We are all full back in the swing of work and 2013 is shaping up well...plenty of bookings and a steady flow of trainees arriving here in South Devon for their Work/Travel experience. There are currently about 50 students here and one of the highlights of this week was our student meeting down in the caves at Kents Cavern - enjoyable not only because it is always a popular venue but because we were able to present the first certificates of 2013. Three French students, Floriane, Angele and Betty are returning home after their experience here in Torbay.
Debbie, our Programme Manager went to Kents Cavern to wave a fond farewell (or should that be au revoir) to the girls who spent their time here with Rossetti Brides, BijouxB and Puddleducks - thanks to all of them for helping make their time here unforgettable.
I am busy preparing my travel plans for another trip to Romania... I will be participating in an International Networking programme called The Art of Networking at the Romanian American University led by Filipe Carrera, an Internationl Trainer, Speaker and Networking Coach - I'm really looking forward to the experience - what an opportunity. Huge thanks to the Directors (Jayne, Nadine and Wendy) here at TTPL towers for their support in making this trip possible.
The office remains a buzzing and active place - Earlier this week we had a group of French boys here to have some Conversational English lessons and they also spent a couple of afternoons exploring Work Preparation. A really great group who all have a good level of English and fantastic enthusiasm. This group are all doing placements in IT with computer shops around Torbay & Totnes and were taken out to their employers by the TTPL team on Monday. We also have a group of German girls working in China Blue and Wild Fig in Totnes and at Braeside Nursery in Paignton who began their placements on Tuesday. This job is so rewarding and it is amazing to see the excitement in the faces of the trainees as they begin their work experience.
That is all for this week so enjoy the weekend - I know I will as my Dad is down to visit...
Take care and have fun :0)
