PPCG welcomes its 2 newest members of staff; Rose Paduano, Support Mentor and Toril Pursell, Group Facilitator. Rose and Toril will work with 8-10 participants in an innovative personal and skill development project for adult learners called ‘Imprint’. PPCG is drawing from RMIT University’s special report on alternative courses in the community and interviews with local group facilitators.

The ‘Imprint’ program will be looking at the possible benefits of a ‘Relationship Focused Learning Framework’. Participants will be going to weekly group workshops that are tailored to their interests and needs; participants will also have 1:1 mentoring with Rose to help them along the way. ‘Imprint’ will be formally launched in January 2012 and cover two eight-week blocks with mentoring to continue for three months afterwards.
