CAVAL Human Resources Group presents

Cadetships and building your staff capacity

Cadetship programs have been a way of developing staff capacity for some time. Join our workshop and find out how to begin, what works and how to avoid the pitfalls from those that have done it. Sandra Woods, Learning and Development Consultant, University of Melbourne Library and Joan Moncrieff, Associate Librarian, Information Management and Access, Deakin University will both share their experiences with the cadetships offered at their respective Universities. Also present will be cadets that have experienced these programs to lend their view on the experience. There will be plenty of time for questions so you can explore whether this type of program would be worthwhile to build your own staff capacity.

Venue: Swinburne University, Hawthorn Campus Library (LB Building), L3 Conference room

Date: Thursday, 27th May 2010

Time: 10am – 1pm – Light lunch provided
