Brent, General Manager, Duggans

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.

The secret is, you've just got to put your hand up and ask for help

"26Ten is a good idea. People out there should know that there's opportunities available for them. All the infrastructure is there. All they have to do is walk in and put their hand up."

Deb's story

“It’s great to do work that makes a difference and when I hear stories of how people are confident, can problem solve at work and read to their children, it’s very satisfying."

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.
