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.

"It is satisfying to see clients grow in confidence and self-esteem as new skills are learnt and goals achieved, things which they previously may have thought were unobtainable."

Julie's story

"The value of a 26Ten grant is that it allows Deb from TasTAFE to come into the Council to work one-on-one with employees. It's a great way to build the confidence people need to learn."

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.
