Career change

Hello everyone.

 

It has been a while since my last post here on my blog. Sure need to update you on the long absence.

After leaving school, I joined Institute of Business Studies, PNG as an assistant lecturer in the School of Computing. One would probably think why I decided to teach, well firstly, while still a final year student I was asked by our Head of Department, InforSys to tutor the first years in my department. I took the opportunity and thought it was just going to end there after the year finished. However, IBS recruited me as an assistant lecturer for the School of Computing straight after I finished school. Basically that is where my interest in the field of teaching grew.

 

After spending about four to five months with IBS, I moved over to Daltron and joined their Commercial Training Team as a Trainer and have been with them till today as I write this blog from the Training room (hehehe).

 

This year is about to end and it has been a long and tough journey for me. Alot of drastic changes have taken place and alot more coming in terms of my personal life and professional career.

 

Being with Daltron Training has exposed my talents and skills to a whole new dimension and I'm sure learning a lot of things here. This has also gauged my interest to venture in the Learning & Development field. I hope to become a L&D Consultant in the near future...something I am working towards.

 

Anyway, I will definitely post some news and events about my Training here at DTC and probably some onsite training as well.

 I think this is already late for me to put this up but I gotta show this to you all. This is realy cool...We had a trip aboard Kalibobo spirit around Madang town (coourtesy of Madang Resort - Sir Peter Barter) after all the debates were over. It was just wonderful and everyone realy enjoyed the day coz onboard with us was Sir Peter Barter, the owner of the boat and his crew plus some of the debate officials. We got on the jet ski with Peter as well and we all had a great time together...just the best way to celebrate.

Man it was just so much fun!!!

2010 National HIV Youth Debate

2010 National HIV Youth Debate.

The PNG National HIV Youth Debates, that was held in Divine Word University was a success. The NHYD, an initiative of Sir Peter Barter National Aids Council Chairman took place during the month of June for almost a week and the event was well attended by all students and local Madang town residents and some distinguished guests as well.

Schools that took part include Divine Word University (host), University of PNG, University of Technology, Pacific Adventist University, University of Goroka and the University of Natural Resources, Vudal. The debates were held for 3 days and all schools took part. I was the team leader for the DWU Team and here is a photo of the team.

All schools had to form two teams to compete and all teams took part but only DWU and PAU went into the finals, it was a pretty tough but I guess one sided debate. The results were to our dismay, we thought we got it...but the win was given to PAU. The chief adjudicator for the final debate was a student from UOG and it was so obvious after the debate that the win was DWU's but that didnt happen. but anyway we really enjoyed the event and looking foward to the next debates. This time DWU is taking the trophy back. We were runner-ups this year but not next year.

All the Best to our next years team. GO DIWAI!!
