Now is the best time to get started. Last Saturday’s "Courier Mail" (p2) quoted a survey undertaken by "CareerOne" which uncovered that almost half the Queensland workforce is thinking of a change in workplace. Another article (p3) in the same edition, quoted inspirational business manager Philip Hesketh who said that “Those businesses that succeed are the ones that pay attention to the needs of their staff and clients by asking what is important to them – and why”. He said that in successful businesses people “feel loved, they feel important and they feel part of something that’s successful.” Employers may ask “What would my staff gain out of training?" and “How would my company benefit from training”?” Companies want the trainee to make a difference in their company, to help them retain customers, improve productivity, improve morale and reduce wastage. Employers might also ask “Why should I choose MCO? What makes them so special?” At MCO, our Trainers work with employers and their staff to build a flexible pathway to extend the student’s skills and learning. We provide unlimited support, one on one coaching, and because our Trainers know your industry, they can give you a learning experience adapted to your industry. Our Trainers at MCO love working with people and facilitating training. Our new Trainer, Neville Kussrow currently averages 6 students a day in a range of businesses from small business to large organizations. His quick tips for students undergoing training: • Break the tasks down into bite sized chunks Its never been a better time to take advantage of the generous government incentives for businesses and help to relieve the current skills shortage by partnering with MCO for all your training needs.

Student of the MonthHow would you feel if two of your Modules you’d planned to send to your Trainer were completely ruined in the January floods and you had to do them again? Brett Schwerin of Zente Exquisite Kitchens at Caboolture found this out recently when his laptop was water damaged and the Modules he’d put hours of work into, were lost. Brett, a Production Manager with Zente Exquisite Kitchens at Lear Jet Drive Caboolture for the past year is studying for his Diploma of Management. He has impressed us with his motivation and attitude, and his ability to bounce back from adversity. “My work involves running the production floor and dealing with clients and suppliers. The training has been very beneficial to me and my trainer Rosina Aston has been very supportive. The training provides a framework for what I am doing so I can discuss it easier. I am looking forward to completing my Diploma of Management at the end of 2011” Well done Brett! Testimonial“I have found the training provided by MCO to be absolutely magnificent. My trainer Rosina Aston is very patient, encouraging and excellent at explaining things. As a result I have an expanded knowledge of the business.”
