STAFF TRAINING
AND DEVELOPMENT
While the vast majority of our staff came to TP armed
with a wealth of industry experience, we know we need to
keep them in touch with trade and pedagogical practices
as the pace of change and development continues to accelerate.
TP
has been a People Developer organisation since 1999. Our
commitment to people development is evident in our consistent
investment in staff training. Average learning hours per
staff was 131 hours in this review year. We also awarded
26 staff members with postgraduate scholarships, while another
15 staff members were sent on industrial attachments both
locally and overseas.

A highlight of the event was the address by inspirational
speaker and director of Scintillare Corporation, Australia,
Dr Mark Strom. |
A key event that symbolises TPs profound belief in
staff development is the annual Learning Academy Festival.
Held in September 2006, a total of 18 workshops were conducted
by staff, for staff, during the Festival. Topics ranged
from Creative World of Mosaic, to Your Child and the Internet.
