ASEAN-Australia & QANTAS CEO, Indonesian Entrepreneurs, TAFE SA Transparency

Hi there

Heading into the Easter break, hopefully there is the opportunity to get things done on your task list, relax a bit and catch up with friends.

International travel and partnerships has been the focus of the last few weeks, from catching up with collaborators in Adelaide and across Victoria, to meeting the third group of Indonesian entrepreneurs in Ubud, Bali, then the out of this world experience that is SXSW (more on this to come later), to the ASEAN-Australia Business Summit in Sydney. For my home state of South Australia we saw a historic win by the Liberal party to form government after being in opposition for 16 years.

Much to share with you including events and invitations, a message to Alan Joyce, CEO of QANTAS, and a call for transparency on the TAFE SA reviews.

And there are a number of new products and services in theWorkforce BluePrint Shopincluding innovative experiences, as well as practical hands on development, addressing current issues and future themes.

ASEAN-Australia Business Summit 2018

A number ofnew education initiativeswere announced at the #ASEANinAus Special Summit by The Hon Julie Bishop MP, Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Questions such as could Australia one day actually be part of ASEAN?Perhaps it is a long shot but would be the world’s 4th largest economy so important to consider.

The Hon Steven Ciobo MP, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, said that theASEAN is a wealth of business opportunitiesbuilding relationships with the ten countries of ASEAN to promote digital trade and support inclusive economic growth in our region.

Watch this video onInternational Capacity and Capability Buildingopportunities, understand how to have more of an impact globally and get into those key networks.

If you are keen to explore international opportunities but you are unsure where to start, or have tried in the past, you can access theInternational Insight and Opportunitiesservice, choosing one or more regions around the world and perhaps ASEAN is a good starting point?

Message for Alan Joyce, CEO of QANTAS –

$60 outfit challenge

See what happened leading up to the ASEAN-Australia Business Summit with this message for Alan Joyce, CEO and QANTAS and let’s see if he can conquer the challenge to find a whole outfit for $60 that he would be happy to go to a VIP event like this.

The outfit in the top photo above was the only thing I could find in around 15 minutes of shopping so feel free to like, share, tag and contact Alan, and please watch the video below.

Events in Sydney and Adelaide

In February we ran booked out events in Melbourne with an RTO Leaders Lunch – don’t make the same mistakes as others and an evening networking event on the Future of Jobs, Skills and Work. Interest has been received to run these events in Sydney and Adelaide in May or perhaps June 2018.
