Welcome to the first edition of Newsline for 2017!
… To say 2017 has started off with a bang for Progressive Training, would be a huge understatement and the momentum this year is quickly picking up speed in the best way possible. First on the agenda, are the changes to our staff.

After many dedicated years we say Goodbye to Innocent Nyoni, our finance assistant, who has moved to Perth to continue his studies at University and we wish him nothing but the best of luck. We also say, not ‘Goodbye’, but more of a ‘See you soon’ to Jenny Rolston and Sarah Pike, who have taken up positions with Progressive Training on a casual basis to focus on project work. As for myself, I have moved from the Lead Trainer position into the CEO role and as the newly appointed CEO, my intent is to provide a seamless transition for both staff and clients. Progressive Training is also very excited to welcome our newest staff members, Shelby Jones and Andrew McGhie. Shelby will be completing a Certificate III in Business with us, as she moves into the Client services / Administration role, while Andrew has taken the reins as our Glass and Glazing Trainer/Assessor in the Perth Metro and South West regions of WA. This brings us to my next announcement…
2017 will see Progressive Training spreading its branches further into Glass and Glazing, having been confirmed as a preferred provider in December 2016 and having the full support of AGGA. Andrew McGhie has really hit the ground running in the Perth Metro, Peel and Southwest areas of WA and with 17 businesses (to date) now having their apprentices on board with Progressive Training, it is shaping up to be a very busy year ahead.
Closer to home in the Geraldton area, we have seen a marked increase in the numbers requesting short courses. The 4WD course run by Graem Watts and the 5 day Worksafe approved Health and Safety Representative Course run by Bill Belson are proving to be high on the priority / interest list as we have seen several run this year already. There has also been some interest generated in the Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety (which I am looking forward to as I will get to change back into my trainers’ hat).
All-in-all, with the initial interest we’ve seen and the scope of work on the horizon, 2017 is looking to be a very Progressive Year. I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to move into the CEO role and will be doing everything in my power to ensure that our staff and clients alike have a continuation of the support and professionalism that has always been on offer from senior management and Directors here at Progressive Training. I look forward to updating you all as we move through the year.
