And did I mention training?

Posted by Andrea Wilkinson on June 25, 2008 4:05 PM | 

Well, it’s my third day back in the office and I’m still buzzing with excitement.

I’ve just returned from a meeting in Kaffeccinos (the Fair Trade coffee shop around the corner from Shared Interest’s office) with Jo Hubbard, Traidcraft’s Business Services Co-ordinator.

As I mentioned earlier, our networks and partnerships with other organisations are key to making this project a success.

Traidcraft will be carrying out the ‘Train the Trainers Training’ (yup it’s that old catchy one again!) They will train the 15 candidates in business and financial skills training techniques, as well as coaching them to develop a training manual for the three year project and beyond. (Is there an alternative word for training?!)

Jo and I discussed my recent trip to Rwanda as she and her team will be heading out there in September to carry out the first course and get our trainers up to speed in all aspects of the international training methods that will make this project a huge success.

We will be working with Traidcraft for the next 10 months, and in January 2009, the trainers themselves will start mentoring the 50 producer organisations.

Its days like today that I realise how lucky I am to have a job I love!
