TAFE VE-Mentoring group opportunity to collaborate for funding options

Hi folks in much of my reading and practical understanding and expereince in embedding innovative practice into practical delievery there are three key things that are barriers and one key item that minimises this barrier. Money. Is it possible tor useful hat from a group perspective we explore all possible avenues for some funding options that could make 2009 the year of mini embedding progress across the ve -mentoring network or at the very least is there anyone out there who would like to look at collaborating and developing some cross Institute options maybe aligned to a vocational area, a lead Institute or not! Most funding application look for systemic support and cross organisational success. So let me know if you are interested or alternatively post your ideas about what sorts of projects might be of interest to you. My particular interest is in developing communities of practice for staff and innovative practice across a lead Institute model but open to all ideas so over to you.... Do you find this valuable?

Hi Colleen, Your request for ideas on this theme would be most timely now as we see the new funding becoming available.
I wonder if you've thought of contacting directly other institutes with like practices in other states . In this case I"m thinking of TAFEs here in Victoria who may be up for a collaboration on ementoring. If you'd like some contact names to approach, I can help you with that. Another idea that has just occurred to me is that you may wish to collaborate with other TAFEs who have started making use of the Innovate and Integrate tools and are now modelling mini-embedding practices. Look for the Case Study that is coming out soon on a TAFE in WA who used I&I processes - once again if you need any contact information, just let me know.
