A typical day at work in our Global Learning Center involves a lot of people contact.  Every day is different.  Our center is a vibrant hub, a place where community members connect with technology, learning and training.  Our center offers the opportunity for people to network over a coffee in our cafe or in our private meeting rooms or outside in our civic plaza.  Patrons can borrow a book, participate in a bilingual story time, access free computer training, borrow a book or a magazine, download music, surf the net, print, scan, photocopy, learn another language or just pass by to say hello.

Visitors drop in to find out about volunteering opportunities; community groups inquire about finding a local project for their group to volunteer for; not-for-profits make contact to source volunteers through our Gateway program for an event; new registrations and inquires are received every day; our lovely office volunteers provide our program with admin support and bring with them, fresh ideas for our program; we celebrate our volunteers birthdays and treat them just like they were paid staff.  We receive good news stories from volunteers who have secured paid work through the skill development and networking they have done through their voluntary role.  We have team meetings, network meetings, lunchbox sessions, walking meetings, one-on-one's, office lunches and social club events.

Not one day is ever the same.  We meet people from all over the world who are new to Australia and would like to connect into our community through learning programs and recreational activities.  We promote all of our Learning Programs to each and every person who enters our center.  We strive to empower each individual in our community, to make a difference to their lives through our vision and mission of lifelong learning.

the most enjoyable part of my job was to meet and greet daily school crossing pedestrians
