Education

One of the major factors in the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products is that it is considered vital to train employees on the company's procedures. Now, here we do not have a formal training program, as such, although we have a little bit of framework. Our Human Resources manager (Ms Big, the daughter of Mr Big, the CEO) gets to thinking on that once in a while. Recently, she has decided that it would be a good idea to get some staff member to do some workplace training courses.

I, your humble Evil Paperwork Fairy, have been nominated (apparently by popular acclaim) as the person for the job. Personally speaking, I'm all in favour of it. I'm thinking that if I could do the whole of Certificate IV, it would be a good thing. Good for the company, and especially good for me, since it would give me another nice, solid string to my (admittedly fairly weak) bow.

But it's expensive. And with the current rate of spending at work (we're in the process of upgrading our production equipment, which is a very expensive process), I would not be at all surprised if I only do one unit this year.

I just hope that I remember to push for this again after the company has recovered some of the costs of the upgrade.
