SITEStudent Industry Training Experience: If there was ever a time when we need to encourage our youths to take up a trade it is now. Our workforce is aging and retiring creating a skills shortage. SITE helps by placing students with businesses to give them a taste of working. It allows the students to experience life in a trade to see if they like it, and it gies employers a chance to 'test drive' prospective employees. While there are heaps of students willing to experience, there is always a need for more businesses to take students. SITE can also organise school-based traineeships and apprenticeships.Hervey Bay Surf ClubA volunteer organisation that trains the leaders of tomorrow and ensures the safety of our beaches.June

Electrical InternationalWe all know every home and office is fitted with circuit breakers to cut the power in an emergency and save lives. But do you know if you circuit breakers actually work? When was the last time you had them tested, or when out and pressed the test button your self to check they are working?When was the last time you checked to see if the electrical appliances around
your office were actually tested and tagged? Did you know that the test tags have
a limited life and the equipment needs to be regularly tested?
These little home truths and more will be outlined by Bill at the next event. May

Transition Town Hervey BayTransition Town Hervey Bay (TTHB) is a community based initiative set up to respond
to the opportunities and challenges of peak oil and climate change. Our goal
is to work with the community, businesses, council and other key stakeholders
to transition Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast towards a more sustainable future.
TTHB is a member of the worldwide Transition Towns network.
As there are many groups and individuals in the Fraser Coast already working towards a more sustainable future, part of our role will be to act as a communication hub focusing everyone’s efforts and linking them together. There are hundreds of different ways that we can build a more sustainable and fruitful local economy by buying locally and cutting down on transport coasts. We can all pursue a Low Carbon Diet by introducing energy efficient appliances, light bulbs, water efficient shower heads, walking and cycling more and growing our own food. Both money and energy can be saved by implementing some of these ideas. The Low Carbon Diet will be launched soon and the next meeting of the Energy Descent Action Plan (EDAP) will be held on Saturday 4 July. We have set a goal of reaching 12% of our population, that’s about 6,000 people, so if you are a resident of the Hervey Bay area and would like to receive updates from TTHB, send your e-mail address and help us to reach our goal. You can contact us by e-mail on: tt_hb@hotmail.com and/or visit our website http://transitionfrasercoast.org.au You could also visit the Transition Town Hervey Bay resources area in the Hervey Bay Library to become more informed about some of the challenges we may face and some of the positive solutions we can take.
