Kylie Tarleton is a proud Wiradjuri woman and Daniel Jack is a proud Gomeroi man who share their experiences of growing up Aboriginal and how this has shaped them to be the humans they are and the work they do today. They share the highs and lows from the strong connection to the land and cultural support of mob to choosing when and when not to wear their 'Aboriginal backpack' and being told they need to be 'more Aboriginal'. This is an episode full of education, awareness and why creating inclusion at times can result in exclusion. Both have identified roles at TAFE NSW and love to connect and share their stories and how to truly embrace the 60,000+ years of the Aboriginal way of embracing connection, culture, and inclusion through lateral leadership.

Ask NAATI July 2021, features Certification Policy and Development Manager, Aurelie Sheehan and National Operations Manager, Michael Nemarich on the panel.List of Questions for Part 3:I watched the 4-part podcast – All Graduates Conversations: Interpreting and Translating: Ask NAATI, March 2021. It is very likely this will be glossed over, or I will receive some vague answer, that will not actually be answering this. Michael Nemarich said something along the lines of ‘'people who do skills set courses have a higher failure rate.'' So other than the skills set course being a prerequisite to be completed before the exam. What other purpose does this course have?  So NAATI can fail people before the exam?How can someone who cannot find any courses in their language that are NAATI endorsed or any prep courses that can help them to become an interpreter, translator, or both? According to Mr Nemarich, they are already disadvantage and likely to fail. I have done my skills set course and sat for my NAATI test and failed. I have applied for the next available test next year. I have put my name down on a waiting list/expression of interest for a Diploma of Interpreting in Greek with both RMIT and TAFE NSW. I will need to wait to see if the demand is there. Seems like I must fork out more money to increase my chances. It's not like the exam is cheap either. When I jumped on the NAATI website for endorsed qualifications, I get a list of RMIT courses but when someone does not have a diploma or a degree, the slim choices become even slimmer. RMIT has Graduate, advanced graduate, master courses. I only have an undergraduate certificate from a university. NAATI does not help to give out learning materials (I asked and got nothing), when asked on ASK NAATI back in March 2021 how to study, the answer was very vague. Apart from using the material that I got in my skills set course, and my glossaries. I really do not where else to do or turn to increase my chances of passing the test. I even asked RMIT for study materials and their answer was, apply for a course which is $24000. I even found a prep course for Greek on the website it was via TAFE SA. I enquired with TAFE SA and was told that the course no longer exists. I even sent them a snapshot of the NAATI website. Even the website isn't updated. The only learning materials I have is the two workbooks from RMIT and TAFE SA, which I had access to during my RMIT skills set course. In addition, participate in as many PD, podcasts, and short courses as possible with All Graduates, NAATI, AUSIT etc. Please explain how someone is meant to pass the test with only a Skills Set qualification which is the minimum requirement? You guys go on and on about practice, practice, practice but how and with what? I cannot find learning materials, online, with AUSIT, NAATI, RMIT etc or courses to further my skills. Or is NAATI deliberately failing people who only do the skills set and diploma courses? I cannot be the only person who is in this situation. Is NAATI failing the people who only done the skills set course as a way for NAATI and educational institutions to make easy money? The only reason I bring up money is several times during the 4-part, two-hour podcast Mr Nemarich mentions money. Specifically goes into detail how NAATI loses money when hosting CPI exams etc. These comments made by Mr Nemarich does not inspire any confidence at all. I hope I will get a proper answer and not a vague response. I noticed on the CPI test for Greek is set for 14th April 2023 (Sunday, 16 April Orthodox Easter 2023). That is the date of Orthodox Good Friday. Very disrespectful from NAATI. You think of a multicultural place like NAATI would have been aware of this. https://www.conversations-interpretingandtranslating.com.au/w/AU/

This is a massive 4 part segment that features some big and well known names within the brewing industry in Australia who share a wealth of knowledge for aspiring brewery owners to consider when planning their brewery build with a focus on quality.Our first episode of the segment, I sit down with Neal Cameron from Brewtique. Now Neal's name has come up multiple times on this podcast so far, so it was great to finally line up a time to meet with him seeing how busy he is in the brewing industry. Neal has been working and consulting within the craft beer industry for over 15 years now. Having started out in the Wine Industry and then moving onto to helping with the set up of the Australian Brewery who we talked to in our earlier Meet The Brewer series. He then took a step back from that to co-write the first formal educational course at TAFE NSW related to microbrewing. Currently he works for Brewtique which is a Brewery consulting company which installs breweries all over Australia.So as you can see this is why I really wanted to sit down with Neal, not many people in the industry has this many stories and experiences to share as he does when it comes to opening a brewery, his lived through 20 plus brewery builds in his long career all neatly explained in a 60 min interview.

Welcome to Podcast #3.About Michael James:Michael works for NSW TAFE where he is the Head Teacher (of electrical trades, electrical engineering and the higher education course in engineering). At 66 years of age, his hobbies are golf and studying - he has just completed a Masters of engineering studies in Biomedical Engineering.He commenced his career in the NAVY at 16. During his time he got his HSC and commenced his engineering degree at RMIT at 30 years of age. Towards the end of his career in the NAVY, Mike was an engineer on various Australian ships. This meant he was responsible for all engineering systems.Two days after he left the NAVY, he joined TAFE to teach where he discovered where his true passion lies.Hot Topic discussion Challenges of the administrational requirements within TAFE which is going through a realignment. The challenge of keeping up with the ever-advancing application of engineering. TAFE's higher education course on renewable energies is the future. It is offering a level that is higher than a trade, but lower than a full degree and is recognised by Engineering Australia at the Associate level. There needs to be more courses for Engineering Associates People want engineers to do more in the renewable engineering space, but from an engineering perspective, we're not there yet. These areas need more research and investigation.During this podcast, you will reflect on: If you're working in an area that you enjoy - and get can paid for it, that's a bonus. Learning is a lifelong journey. What a career path in the RAN could entail. What it means to be an engineer in the NAVY. Even though the TAFE NSW system continues to evolve, the engineering foundations haven't changed. Engineering isn't just about the technical side of life. It's about where you work and who you're working with. The skills you learn as an engineer will help you make sense of the things you're doing. The importance of networking.Want to WIN?With thanks to our sponsor, , we are able to give away a 60-min Joy Ride around Sydney in a Ferrari 360 spider.Fuga Veloce - Italian for Fast EscapeHow to win??Within the first 10 episodes, go to iTunes and leave us a review.
