This week I role definitely started to pick up pace! After a relatively easy going first two weeks that saw me begin to think there may be some really quiet periods within this job I was proved wrong! After starting the week at my graduation I spent the start of the week gathering evidence for the learndirect proposal, this was interesting adn brought into play a number of information seeking skills and helped me become more familiar with the location of everything. I then had to go to a SLIC conference with my new manager, this was a very interesting day and I saw some instances of projects that could be adapted such as National Entitlement Cards and also Stirling's methods for providing classes. This made me feel my role started to fit better into the whole framework and I liked that. The end of the week saw things speed up, with the idea of taster classes being mooted since my first day a meeting with the tutor saw these come to life. With my Assistant off I had to handle this myself by producing marketing, sending out press releases and organising all the classes, I feel I have handled this well but with one week to fill six classes we'll see next week how well it all goes.....
