All Members

Dear Members,

We are seeking partners to help us include School Laboratory Technicians in this important initiative. Laboratory Technicians play a crucial role in the chemistry education ecosystem, yet they often remain underrepresented and have limited opportunities for professional growth. By partnering with us, you can help create a unique opportunity for these essential staff members to work alongside educators, participate in specialised professional development, and benefit from a mentorship component designed to enhance their skills and impact.

We believe that the involvement of School Laboratory Technicians is vital to the overall success of future educational initiatives and visits, as their expertise and support are integral to providing high-quality chemistry education. With your help, we can ensure they receive the recognition and development they deserve, ultimately enriching the learning experience for all.

If this initiative aligns with your organisation's values or interests, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at education1@raci.org.au. I would be happy to share a detailed sponsorship prospectus with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Hannah

I for one welcome any initiative by the RACi that's aimed at attracting increased participation of chemistry practitiioners with certificate and diploma qualifications.

Hi Daniel and Hannah,

As one of the number of School Laboratory Technicians, I wholeheartedly endorse this idea and any other ideas you have along these lines.

Hi Daniel, I think there is great opportunity for LTT as new RACI Industry Partners to be part of this initiative.  We have a specilised program and already deliver quite a few nationally recognised certificates and Diplomas to School Science Technicians across the country, so would be keen to see how we could enhance the opportunities to have these recognized by RACI.

@Simon Gazia - Yes! Best to liaise with RACI National Office on this, which I'm sure you can do through @Hannah McCarthy

Hi Simon,

Would love to have a chat about this further! Feel free to send me an email at education1@raci.org.au and we can set up a time to discuss.

Have a great weekend,

Hannah
