Ms Ainslie Popplewell Program Delivery Manager Records Management Program SA Water Already, as SA Water commences on a major program for Information Management and Records Management compliance, we are being impacted by the lack of available skilled people to assist and certainly of people who are well versed in the strategic components. In addition, the profession will gain higher credibility with graduates potentially gaining positions of influence greater than those generally enjoyed by the profession at the moment. Certainly, we would encourage our high potential employees in this discipline to pursue these studies for mutual benefit. We would support their studies, as per Government guidelines. It would also assist us in succession planning, which will be critical as we gain and need to maintain a Records Management compliant business. |

Wilhelmina Chapman Manager, Administration HR Services Unit Justice Portfolio Services - Attorney-General's Department "There was a mixed response across the Justice Portolio and AGD. Most thought is was a good idea to have people around with this kind of expertise. The larger divisions/agencies were certainly more receptive than the smaller ones, probably for obvious reasons. There is a genuine need for graduates with expertise in the areas of Records Management Archiving and EDRMS and this program appears to meet these needs. It is envisaged that graduates of this program could possibly be employed by some of our agencies. This program and relevant material will be circulated and recommended to our staff. |

Bernadette Bean Health SA The public sector is screaming out for this kind of
expertise. It is hard to ascertain if graduates will meet
these needs until the first graduates get through. It would be
useful for the University and/or State Records to connect with
employers at that time (and perhaps on an ongoing basis) about
whether or not the course is living up to expectations and meeting
employers requirements for skilled staff. Members of our
agencies are willing to employ graduates of these courses.
This program and relevant information has been circulated and
recommended to our staff, and in fact have one staff member enrolled
in the Graduate Certificate already. DH is supporting his study with
time off and has endorsed 100% reimbursement of his fees assuming he
successfully completes the subjects. The 100% reimbursement of fees
is an acknowledgement that the skills are extremely important to the
public sector. |
Denis Patriarca Director, Business Service SAPOL Specifically in relation to feedback on the content
of the Course, my advice is that it is sufficiently broad enough to
capture all elements of business information management and provides
a high level of choice in defined streams. |
