Manny's take on Learning and Development Consultant Lisa Donaldson



Lisa Donaldson

Lisa started with CTS in July 2009 and has proven herself to be a valued member of our team as she is truly multiskilled, turning her hand to just about anything she is asked to! She is our Traineeship Co-ordinator and is currently developing and implementing our on-line learning programs utilising the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). In addition, she is a trainer and mentor for Cert II, Cert III and Cert IV in Business, Cert IV in Small Business Management, Cert IV in Business Administration, Cert IV in Frontline Management and Cert IV in Training and Assessment.

Her time is spent both on and off site as she has students outside the Bunbury area and also flies regularly to Port Hedland and Newman to assist in the facilitation of the SafeStart component of the BHP Blue Leadership Program.

As CTS flexible students can enrol at any time throughout the year, Lisa is pretty busy meeting students both on site at CTS and in their workplace, as well as keeping them on track to complete their qualifications by phone or by email.

Last year 12 students completed their qualifications under Lisa's guidance - one in Cert II in Business, one in Cert III in Business, two in Cert IV in Business, one in Cert III in Frontline Management and 7 in the Cert IV in Training and Assessment. 

Being the Traineeship Co-ordinator keeps Lisa very busy as she has to ensure adherence to strict government guidelines and only once she is satisfied that CTS has achieved these requirements will she give Admin the go-ahead to produce the qualifications. Last year Lisa kept track of more than 60 trainees and has now received notifications to commence additional students, most significantly in the newly funded Safety Officer traineeship.

Lisa's qualifications include the Cert IV in Training and Assessment, the Cert IV in Business, the Cert IV in Small Business Management and the Cert IV in Frontline Management.

When not busy on CTS's behalf, Lisa likes to spend time with her animals (cats, sheep, chickens and ducks!), hitting the open road on her motorbike, socialising with her friends and enjoying time in the garden.

"Hi Lisa

My time with CTS has been very adventurous, to say the least.  I have had loads of personal problems, specially when I had serious complications when my son was born.  That is when the staff at CTS rallied around and made sure that I had all the support I needed. 

Lisa drew the short straw when Annette left, with having to get me through.  That she did. !!! I couldn't of asked for a more patient and understanding teacher.  These ladies did their utmost to help me understand the course.  Lisa went way beyond the call of duty holding my hand coaching me every step of the way. 

I will always appreciate and admire Lisa for how she helped me achieve this qualification.  What a great role model. !!!

Thanks Lisa and the CTS Team for all your support over the time, and also for the great support when I was in coma after my son was born. I'll never forget you all !!! 

the very

Kindest Regards

Shane
