HE Student Ambassador Notification

[changeling67]

I have just received a letter from my college, informing me that I have been nominated as one of the students who would make an excellent Student Ambassador for Higher Education.  Part of the job is to act as a mentor to people considering doing a degree, or returning to Education.  As part of this 'mentoring' process, I will be attending events and will be able to access free training. Bonus? I will be paid per scheduled hour and above minimum wage.

It isn't a shoe-in - I will have to have group and separate interviews to see if I am worthy.  If I am successful, then it will develop existing skills and enhance my CV.  I am flattered, if a bit nervous about it.  They forgot to send me the prerequisite forms, so I will have to chase that down on Monday. If I get it, I will just have to brazen myself through it - if it helps me develop better IT skills, even better. Go me (I say NOW - maybe different when the time comes).

Congratulations! Sounds good. I think you would be great at it.

Thank you - if I am successful, then at least I can tell them that coming back to education can be daunting, but very rewarding. If I can do it, then so can they :-)

That sounds like a worthwhile challenge. Give it a try, I'd say.
Shall keep fingers crossed for you.

If I am picked, then challenge accepted :-)

Crumbs!!! that is something ELSE!!! Oh wow. it could change your life - and a whole load of other peoples'.

OH Super... How seriously super, and you'll be brilliant. I might come on board and have you teach me - An MA in Philosophy?

This is truly exciting.

LOL - I have looked into philosophy recently and saw the many-stranded monster subject of Ethics. I have a feeling I would disappear up my on derriere if I tried that.

Hahaha I have the advantage of Great Age to enable me to feel I'd enjoy that subject enormously. It does need experience of life I think to understand from the bottom up, rather than have to deal with that subject from the Idealist's point of view, the young and ambitious'.

I could hold forth happily with this lot. I shall chomp away at it... teehee.

Get the Job love, and find me a Maitresse/Maitre who would not find sitting on Ethis uncomfy! teehee. Oh what super news for you! Am seriously delighted... Pats you on head! XXXX
