One of the aims of ITI is to raise the profile of quality private tertiary education in general and of ITI members in particular. This newsletter is a key tool for disseminating some of the success stories in the sector, many of which you will not read about elsewhere. In this issue, we profile the Career Expo at Red Fish, Natcoll's prestigious award and a very big deal for the Media Design School.
ITI also appeared twice in the latest edition of the Education Review. The paper published a feature article by ITI Chair Tim Cullinane arguing strongly for limited exemptions to the controversial 103% "over provision" cap. Tim also opposed suggestions that private trainers should have their "profits" published on the grounds that it would be a lose-lose scenario for private providers.
Please enjoy this month's newsletter and feel free to encourage your colleagues and stakeholders to sign up directly.
