Congratulations go out to the Colchester Regional Development Agency's Terry Hearn, who recently picked up her first "Nova Scotia Workplace Education Ambassador" award.

The award winners champion the on-site workplace education program. They also encourage other people to participate, something Terry has certainly done among members of the Colchester business community over the past few years. In presenting the award, Colleen O'Connor, who is the Skills Development Coordinator in the Central Nova Scotia had high praise for Terry's efforts.

"In three years, Terry has built an impressive track record including the successful delivery of 20 workplace education programs ranging from Essential Communications Skills and Basic Computer Skills to Customer Service and Human Resource Management." said Ms. O'Connor. "As a result, more than 180 businesses have been directly impacted by employees who have new skills and enhanced self-confidence."

Partners in delivering the program include Nova Scotia Business Inc., the Truro & District Chamber of Commerce, the North Shore Development Association, the Upper Stewiacke Community Association and the Business Development Bank. To Terry and all of her community partners, a big congratulations on this province-wide recognition!
