A&T

IND a ddressing knowledge gaps in industry owners, operators and managers

more capable management layer in the industry – growing skills and capability

The two with the most linkages are our Ambassador Fleet and Industry Knowledge projects. Interestingly, these relate to communicating to students (in particular) how great our industry is and the actual management layer within industry where we need to do work on how to best manage young people. In addition our Ambassadors are our next layer of leaders. There are two very good reasons for us concentrating on young and already successful industry people for our Ambassador fleet – they can engage the young people they are presenting to at a generational level and they are already moving into the management layers in venues. Our Ambassadorial roles are already educating these young leaders of tomorrow and making them much more capable of dealing with emerging issues – technology, changes in social standards and behavior’s etc. WE NEED MORE AMBASSADORS Currently our fleet covers off many parts of the state but we need more – if you are young and successful and want to be involved please ring Pete Handy on 0404 031 004 or email him at pete@tha.asn.au. Please see the following page for a few of our current Ambassadors – please become one of the gang.
