Rahbia started with CTS full time in February 2011 as the Learning and Development Team Leader and now provides guidance to our trainers, assessors, contract staff and receptionist as Training Manager. Before moving to the South West she was employed in the Wheatbelt in the Vocational Education and Training sector - both Public and Private Training Providers, Australian Apprenticeship Centers and Group Training.
Rahbia's move to the South West mid-2010 was to take up a
commonwealth contract to provide mentoring services to apprentices who
were considered at risk of non-completion during the stage of their
apprenticeship in which it was most likely to occur - within their first
3 months, when they are aged 15 - 21. She provided these services to
640 apprentices from Albany to Naval Base and was happy to know that she
had ensured a significant number continued on their trade pathway.
Having such well rounded skills and knowledge of the industry makes her a valued employee - she works closely with the senior management team of the business and ensures that all projects are on track and that all members of our team are well supported to deliver the high quality service that CTS is renowned for. In addition, she helps maintain our RTO compliance - we're up for an audit shortly so that's been pretty helpful!!
When not in the office, Rahbia is out and about assisting our trainers with their SafeStart component of the BHP Blue Leadership Program deliveries in Newman, Port Hedland and Perth. She also helps with on and off-site project delivery and other services ranging from discussing training options to securing work and undertaking AQTF audits.
Rahbia's qualifications
include the Certificate IV in Business and the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and is currently completing her Certificate IV in Human Resources.
When
not busy on CTS's behalf, Rahbia likes spending time with her family, working on their house and property, building and tending to the vegie patch, cooking ethnic cuisine, watching the young fella play soccer and letting her hair down at every opportunity!!!
CTS - where your training matters
The afternoon was still young so we knew something else would have to be happening! Not being wrong, Megan from Dindindi Drums arrived to provide a drumming session. Great fun but not all of us are as rhythmic as we think we are! With us all sitting in a circle and a patio heater in the middle we thought we were very tribal indeed!
Time to eat! John excelled once again on the webber with beef and chicken and Natural Temptations provided the salads. Always masses of food to eat so it wasn't long before we were all sitting around the various "fire pits" getting warm,holding long and in-depth conversations and nursing full stomachs with drinks! The evening ended about 10.30pm when the last of the stragglers went home.
As they were individual photos, we had heaps of time to hang around the photocopier catching up on each others news and have a chat with John B and Orlando taking the opportunity to catch up on local events making the news.
I'm off to Perth at the end of the weekend to catch up with my mate but don't tell John as I am just going to disappear when he least expects it! We'll see if he even notices . . . .
