About this episode
Ruth Saw, an adult professional trainer, reflects on her personal journey of confidence and growth, and how lived experience shaped her approach to learning and leadership. She also discusses why SkillsFuture often faces scepticism, how her own perspective on SkillsFuture changed, and what accredited trainers have to go through that helps separate real capability from just certification.๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ค๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ก๐จ๐๐ช๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐.๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ด๐๐ถ๐ต๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ | yahlahbut.short.gy/skillsfuturesg๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ต๐ถ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ดHaresh: Stranger Things 5 | Official Trailer | NetflixTerence: What Happened to Walt Disneyโs Weird Cinema Lens?Ruth: Sora AI๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐!Drop us an email at contact@ministryoffunny.com!
