Notice the lack of hard hat, Luckily this was not one of ours
Now there is safety, drinking Hot Coffee with all the PPE
I swear it wasnt me, she was going to fast!!
Have you guys seen my contact lense
"maybe under here"
"my muscles are sore from gym, I cant help that they are so big"
Due to being in the thick of things the posting has become a bit thin, so here is a big one. As can be read in the trainees blogs there has been a phase of practical experience aka grafting. The trainees where thrown into the thick of things. More of which can be read in their blogs.
The feedback I m getting now is that the experience was invaluable. Strangely it was the same for me in terms of seeing how much experience is going to be needed. In many ways it is reassuring as we can now see that we have a long way to go and that we can now pace ourselves.
As outcomes go we wanted the trainees to get hands on in no uncertain terms. So they were started on manual labour, moved to minor foreman roles and then into health and safety roles. It was amazing to see the clarity of thought after this experience.
Praise must be given where deserved and it must be said that they did themselves proud in the way they conducted themselves. From working like men on steroids to interviewing and interacting with clients , employees and all those that came with the package. It is an understatement to say that I am proud of each one of them.
I hope that if you are reading this you will have the opportunity to meet this group of people and to see the driving passion they have to learn and to make a difference. If this is what is to come in the future we can only see our world as a better place.
Well not to get too soppy I have been wondering who is following this blog. So I thought we would have a competition. The prize being a ride on my bike. Just kidding.
I will buy the 15th person to e mail me a massive slab of chocolate.
So in order to win e mail me on
wlongueira@ircaza.com
If I don't get mails I will eat it myself and really get soppy.

Thank you to Keith, Justin and Lesley for allowing us onto your sites. Without you this would have never been possible.
I hope they didnt do too much damage:)
