(Participants in the SEE Program engaging in the BSBITU101 – Operate a personal computer Unit of Competency)
​
Three months ago, I moved to Broome to take on the position of Lead Trainer for the SEE Program (Skills through Education and Employment).  It has been exciting and fulfilling knowing I’ve been instrumental in building the program from what was 1-2 clients / one day per week to averaging 6 -10 per day, every day. We have enrolled our clients into Certificate I in Leadership and we started off with the BSBITU101 unit – Operate a Personal Computer. As of now we have just had our first completion of that unit and we are enrolling that client into their second unit. Since commencing with this program, I have had some challenges mainly due to the rapid growth of the participant numbers and the necessity to maintain an engaging environment. Through hard work and the odd cyclone, I’ve managed to maintain consistent numbers. We are at the point now I need a small bus to pick up the number of participants attending the program on a regular basis! I’ve also been fortunate to have had Kristie join the team, because with Kristie managing the admin side, I get to focus on the delivery of some quality training.

​Introducing the newest edition to the Progressive Training fleet! Our new bus looks amazing and will be situated in Broome where it will be used to support the SEE Program and further encourage more participants to attend training. 

2017 has seen a big change in direction for Progressive and to sum up the year in a few words really isn’t doing justice to the time the staff have put in.

This year we have managed to open, not only our office in Broome, to support the Skills for Education and Employment Program (SEE Program), but we have managed to lease and refurbish a premises in Perth that will allow for the facilitation of various types of training. The tireless work of our Company Directors; Geoff and Kris Feddersen have seen an extremely conveniently placed building in Burswood, transform into what will now become our firm base for the group training of Glass and Glazing apprentices. The building also has the facilities to double as a training / learning centre for other ventures such as the AS1288 Standard presentation that Progressive Training will be facilitating in conjunction with AGGA (Australian Glass and Glazing Association), set to commence early next year.  With a dedicated workshop space, office space and training room ready to go for 2018, we will be able to look at broadening our horizons and getting back to what Progressive once was able to offer our clients, which is access to quality training facilities in the Perth Metropolitan area.
