Dave Baltes

Greg Mohns

Jim Jennings

The holding is the most foreign part of the job. But the skills we use in the [Australian Football League], we have good hands.

Gareth Barry

Carolyn Bennett

The skills and knowledge we have in our communities are incredible, and the people who come to the conference will all bring with them different sets of knowledge that they can share with each other.

Amber Gunnoe

The voyage will offer the young people an exciting opportunity to expand their skills and knowledge of the world around them through tackling something new.

What we are seeing is that, in the specialized nature of information economy, a college degree is increasingly important for employers.
