I feel that citizen journalists should, like other journalists, put their name to their words, and she has had the courage to do so. So here is the debut citizen journalist piece by<strong>\u00a0Geraldine Toner<\/strong>. She worked in the Victorian Public Service from 1992 to 2011 as an IT Project manager, mainly in labour market &amp; training programs to help the disadvantaged into employment. From 2004 she worked in Government Funded Training Programs that managed the TAFEs and Private Registered Training Organisations and then\u00a0\u00a0managed the development and implementation of the original application used to introduce the contestability model, then called &#8216;Skills Reform&#8217;. In 2010 she worked at Swinburne University in a contract position and officially left the Victorian Public Sector in December 2011. The TAFE issue is fraught around Australia, so feel free to comment here.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geraldine Toner MARGO: @Fluffula\u00a0tweeted that if she had a blog she&#8217;d write the truth about TAFE policy, so\u00a0TurnLeft\u00a0and AFHP offered her a spot.
