Two Interesting Reports

Dear TDN members
I found two interesting documents. The first one is a report produced by the Australian Bureau Statistics identifying mayor social trends by June 2010

http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/subscriber.nsf/0/CC0E264D73F3A637CA2577510019F5DD/$File/41020_ASTJune2010b.pdf

The second document has been produced by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. I would recommend the section called "Who is in training"

Sydney Facilitators Network - July 12th Monday

Dear TDN members
the next Sydney Facilitators Network is holding their monthly meeting on Monday 12 of July. I have attached to this blog entry some extra information about the facilitator:

"Change Agents at the Gates of Transformation" with Gisela Wendling, Ph.D.

Using an Ancient Approach to Harness the Vital Forces in Contemporary Experiences of Change

In this session, we will apply an adapted rites of passage framework to explore how the continuous presence of perplexing change impacts our lives and especially our practice as facilitators of change. We will identify approaches to assist the full engagement of these complex tensions and explore the criticality of supporting one another as change agents. In our work, we stand at the threshold of change not only with our clients, but also in our own lives and alongside members of our local and global communities.

About Gisela Wendeling PhD.

Gisela brings together contemporary and indigenous knowledge and practices to offer more complete, systemic, and contextually sensitive approaches to transformation. Gisela guides individuals and groups to courageously meet the challenges inherent in transformational change and to trust their innate capacity for renewal. In the process, they experience the healing that often precede the ability to access previously unrecognized resources. Gisela encourages sensitivity and compassion toward oneself and others, and I evoke the abilities for deep insight and focused action.

The conceptual and practical underpinnings for Gisela's work have grown out of doctoral research in human development and organization systems, 15 years of guiding organization change and employee development projects, and her position as an assistant professor directing a MA program in Organization Development. In the latter role she supported graduate students to gain the conceptual knowledge, practical experience and personal development to become successful change agents.

Venue:

University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Jones Street, Ultimo corner Thomas Street.

Room 5.580 Level 5, Building 10, Take the lift to level 5, cross the atrium foot bridge, walk straight ahead to room 580.

Time:

from 5:30pm to 7:30pm sharp | No RSVP - Just turn

TAE10 Training and Education Training Package - Review

Dear TDN members
My understanding is that the current Certificate IV Workplace Assessment Training is currently being reviewed. I have attached a link of a 'Frequently Asked Questions" paper developed by Innovation and Business Skills Australia responding to questions about the transition from TAA40104 to TAE10.

I hope that you find them useful
