- The complexity was too much. HR is often the enabling or disabling character in all of this And
we had to deal with the immaturity and drama of the co–ordinator.
- All that being said, we would do it again. We would better define the roles and responsibilities
up front.
- Accounting needs to be more streamlined.
- One of the most worthwhile projects we have taken on in the zone, ever. Everybody is really
excited overall. They would definitely do it again.
- RNDA were just excellent. They were always available. The college was bery helpful and
went beyond what was required.
- No – I really don't agree that there is no need for a co–ordinator.
There was some discussion among the academic, practical instructors and co–ordinator.
I really think we need a co–ordinator.
We would not be able to sponsor it without a full-time co–ordinator.
And it is important that the CLN not run it – or the employer or the
College. The third party sponsorship (the development association) is an
important part to ensure the best interests of the
participants. (Not the employment partners or the college) We don't get any
admin funding or anything out of it.
- Was it much of a burden? No – the co–ordinator was key to that.
It didn't contribute any admin funding to us, but the benefits were there – not
even for their community, but for the zone. We are hoping that now that we
could do two projects with Fannie as a co–ordinator. Zone board
was interested in having them do it again.
- The CLN contributed to the overall success of the project. It made it more
convenient for hte co–ordinator where if one partner or the other couldn't
make it, the meeting still went ahead so she still got her work done. There
was a real team environment.
- There were other spinoffs of the CLN – it builds overall respect and awareness of each other by
working together successfully.
- We need to be more sure and certain about the employment partner before we go to
participants.
- The qualifications of participants – you cannot be a high school graduates. He thinks High
School graduates should be able to be included in the program.
- It is a wonderful program. Loves the academic training and workplace training
and then the job
– that is all, isn't it!
- The field trip was excellent. From the point of view of the participants, I was really surprised
and impressed how well they conducted themselves. It was nothing but a pleasure. That kind
of thing should be built into the program and make sure it was built into the program.
- Thinks the project and the model is great overall. This is the real stuff of economic
development.
- He gets lots of support – the Program Co-ordinator and the provincial co–ordinator are very
helpful and assistive.
- As the president of the sponsoring body, there are some negatives. It is more difficult to
operate with so many partners but it is a better way to do things. Normally our executive
committee would run the show.
- As the sponsoring organization – there is no administrative fee to their association. They are
used to taking on 10–15% administration fee. There are costs associated with being in
business as a sponsorship. Maybe written in the contract the travel is covered out of the 10–15%, or have it separately and for other than the co–ordinator.
- They shine in the reflected glory of the project. Their association looks good if the project looks
good, particularly among the members of the CLN.
- The employment partner has to be partnership oriented. They can't demand
to have control over everything.
