ICVET Conference
I was fortunate to attend the Learning Powerhouse on 16th September 2005. At the Conference I attended a workshop called: New directions in Aboriginal Education The Goorie Research and Study Program. GRASP is a collaboration between the Aboriginal Education Training Unit and General Education at Lismore TAFE. Developed with significant input from Aboriginal staff and specifically designed for Aboriginal students, it differs substantially from other programs available to the student group. Individual planned, competency based training and the way students are enrolled and assessed in GRASP have proven to be effective in meeting the needs of Aboriginal students on the North Coast. Outcomes for the projects has been extensive with students gaining employment in a variety of fields for example: music industry, tourism and hospitality and community services. A great innovative project with dedicated and committed staff to ensure the program is effective.
