Global Express 24 Toll Priority GetIT! 1 WorkVentures thank Toll Priority with a framed photograph of the participants. Toll Priority is a proud supporter of workVentures, a social enterprise that aims to reduce economic and social disadvantage. WorkVentures supports individuals by removing barriers to overcome their economic and personal hardships. One program run by WorkVentures is iGetIT! – a computer training program specifically targeted at indigenous youth. The program teaches indigenous and disadvantaged youth about basic computer assembly and de-bugging. To conduct the program, WorkVentures uses decommissioned computer equipment donated from corporate Australia. Training is arranged in partnership with organisations already working with the target group that have identified participants interested in gaining basic computer skills. The program provides participants with the opportunity to learn new skills and build confidence and motivation to apply for employment or enrol in further training. Learning is hands-on and based around a personal project of rebuilding a computer to take home at the end of the course. Everyone who successfully completes the project will take away the computer they have personally rebuilt from components supplied by WorkVentures. Most recently, Toll Priority has assisted WorkVentures with delivery of equipment to the remote community of Miniyerri, Hodgson Downs, located approximately 270km south east of Katherine, Northern Territory. The Miniyerri course was delivered in partnership with iS australia. WorkVentures delivered two projects in the community. 17 participants successfully completed the course and earned a PC. Additional computers were donated by WorkVentures to the community. The course represented a Toll Bids Farewell to Andrew Price After 13 years at the top, General Manager at Stream Solutions, andrew Price has decided to move on. Andrew was the joint founder of Stream with Tom Pongrass in 1998. Over the past decade, Andrew has grown Stream to be a leading independent print management provider in Australia. Most recently Andrew’s focus has been on transitioning Stream into a fully integrated Toll business. Andrew believes it’s the right time for him to move on from this role. He will continue to work at Toll until 6 May 2011 on special projects, reporting directly to Maurie Tattle, General Manager of Toll Priority. He then intends to take an extended holiday during the European summer, with the potential to review opportunities at Toll upon his return. As of 1 January 2011, the new General Manager of Stream is Clive Steele. Clive has been with Stream since 2001, great opportunity for the residents of Miniyerri, who were able to learn new skills and gain recognised certification. In November WorkVentures’ Chief Executive Officer, arsenio alegre, and Production Manager, Don Quinn, visited Toll Priority. They presented Toll Priority General Manager, Maurie Tattle, with a framed photograph of the participants of the Miniyerri course as a gesture of appreciation for the ongoing support Toll Priority has provided the iGetIT! program. n and has most recently held the position of Director of Business Development. Greg Higgins will replace Clive as Director of Business Development. Several new initiatives will be announced over the coming months as Stream affirms its a clear leadership position in the print management sector. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew for his contribution to the business and wish him bon voyage for his upcoming travels. n 1
