Brent's story

Brent Hardy recognised the need to boost the reading, writing and digital skills of his workforce in preparation for introducing new online work systems. He applied for a 26Ten grant, organised training and supported employees to learn in the workplace.

Julie's learning journey

"I can sit down now and listen to the grandchildren, and even with my own kids, listen to their home readers, do their home readers with them, and even read the kids stories. I feel more confident and more happy in my own self."

Jenny Dodd, CEO of TasTAFE, volunteer Fiona Armstrong and Kate Warner, Governor of Tasmania

Award winning 26Ten volunteer

"I really enjoy seeing people's confidence soar when their literacy improves, and they suddenly realise what they are capable of."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
