SHAPING THE FUTURE
The Association for Tertiary Education Management Orientation Program has been developed for people occupying a middle level (typically HEW 6-9) position; or with less than two years’ experience in a tertiary institution; and/or recently promoted to the above level or who have not previously had an opportunity to interact with colleagues from other institutions.

- facilitation of inter-institutional contacts to enable the exchange of information, ideas and problem solving throughout the higher education sector
- professional support, encouragement and development to new members of the sector structured around presentations and small group workshops.
The program is designed to provide a variety of learning situations and opportunities for interaction. Keynote speakers have an expert knowledge of their topics and small group facilitators will be senior university administrators in the relevant fields.
The topics covered by keynote speakers and workshop discussions will focus on contemporary issues affecting higher education management such as:
- Implications of the Nelson reforms to the higher education sector – Maria Fernandez, Manager Student Support Branch, Higher Education Group, DEST
- The Professionalisation of University Administration and its Impact on University Management – Maree Conway, Director, Foresight, Planning and Review, Swinburne University of Technology

DO YOU SUFFER FROM “DORMANT FRENCH SYNDROME”?Would you like to brush up on past achievements? Maybe plan and prepare for a trip to Europe? Perhaps you just want to check out if there is fun to be had in a group of fairly accomplished students of French. Dr Watt has been with Macquarie longer than most of us can remember, and has enjoyed a "following" that meant her classes survived while the Continuing Education Program sadly had to be cancelled! But time is taking its toll. People are moving away to retire, and numbers are gradually dwindling. If you would like to join Dr Watt’s group and make a recovery from Dormant French Syndrome please phone Helma on x7005 for a brochure. Helma Neumann |

Over 40 employers participated in Work Experience Program 2003 The Graduate Accounting and Commerce Centre (GACC) commissioned the Career Development Office to develop a Work Experience Program (WEP) designed to enhance the employability of students enrolled in the Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting progressing onto the Master of Accounting. The aim of the WEP Program is to provide students with an inside perspective of professional practices associated with employment in their particular area of study. The CDO assists students to secure a placement for work experience and then offers ongoing support by providing information on how to effectively gain the most from the placements. Additionally, the CDO assisted students’ transition into the workforce through delivery of tailored workshops on adapting to new working environment. Employer and student evaluation of the program confirmed the valued of the work experience program. The CDO has sourced a substantial number of host employers keen to work with students in developing their professional skills. Over 40 employers from Sydney’s North West and Central Business District participated in 2003 the first year of the program. A “Thank You” function is being organised for November, bringing onto campus host employers and participating students. Linda Reardon |
