            Where are you with your learning journey?

It is wonderful when we meet former Computers in Homes students and get to hear what they are doing now. It often reinforces the research which suggests that digital inclusion programmes help develop empowerment. During the holiday period I bumped into four of our ex-students who told me what they are doing now. One ex-student is now working as a tutor at a wanaga full-time and another has part-time work around bringing up a young family. One has just completed their bachelor of social work degree at Whitireia. Another did our course back in 2006 as a mum, then went on to do teacher training and now is a deputy principal of a local primary school! All credit their success to completing our course as a catalyst to further learning and/or employment.
