• One co–ordinator could do two projects IF they were close together geographically, had staggered start dates, dealt with the same CLN team and the same HRE and HRDC officials.
• Instructor should not be involved in the student selection process.. This is very unusual and not appropriate. Teachers work with whom they are given.
• We should go by college regulations around attendance. Participants had to call the PC if they were sick. If they had to go get their blood pressure checked for an hour, they would have to come in and work on another day.
• Associate District Administrators.

How did you find the program overall?

• Overall, I am very pleased with this program. The CRO was very busy during this time because he served as CNL team member and co-ordinator until a project co–ordinator was hired.
• The goal of the program was to get people back to work. We started with 12 students and all 12 graduated and started work with the employment partner immediately upon completion of the program. The integration of academic and practical work experience helped prepare the students to become competent employees for the company. They were also excellent College students.
• It went really well. We were really pleased that we had participated in the project. The CLN was a high point It was a real plus and it kept people informed. It is an excellent model for us to use for other projects. All stakeholders are involved and this is a huge benefit. It removes the isolation and a lot of the geographic challenges. We are so used to participating by video conference and teleconference. We needed to be in the loop.
• With our mandate to provide ABE in the communities, we don't get to get at the lower level ABE's and this gave us a chance to get at that low literacy level client. And that was very positive, plus the link to employment for them. It is inclusive of that target.
• A good project. I wish some work had developed out of it. It wasn't the employment partners fault.
• CLN: They are quite used to the concept – there is a more mature and experienced group for CED than other regions.
• RNDA – there are a good crowd. The problem wasn't with them other than the provincial co–ordinator is so committed and she would get drawn into the zany politics of the piece with good intentions. Instead of ignoring it. The book–keeper/financial manager is relentlessly thorough. However, There was a feeling of being led along the babysteps.
• I thought it was a really really great program. I came in after it was started. I don't know if we had any problems getting it off the ground or not.
• The students need a college place to do the work. Especially for access to the computers and the like. Having the classes at the campus dispels some of the fears of the College.
