This week started with my attendance at the WW1 Remembrance event in the library, this was good experience as I saw what might be involved in running one myself! I also had to use my information skills to the full in order to find out information for one woman regarding her ancestor, not quite my job but happy to go the extra mile (though I'm still trying to find the answer). This week also saw two important meetings, the first was with the BBC where I got some information on what programmes they have coming up fopr literacy and numeracy and these are something I will look at. My other meeting was with a co-ordinator from the University of the West of Scotland, this was very productive and looks to be a partnership I can build on if it goes as well as promised. I realised in both metings that they went by quickly and this is possibly something I should work on. But if i'm being honest, I always feel meeting can be filled with too much waffle, I like to get to the point and come to the resolutions quickly. This week also saw me really see where I could make a difference. Too many of our courses are filled with older learners, I really feel that lifelong learning and employability are far more important in the present climate (or any climate) and many of our partnerships can be used to develop this. This can be somewhere I can make a real difference and hope to do that as I move forward.
