158
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: If you're good at something and qualified in it, would

159
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: you want to hear from them, maybe get a course

160
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: up and going whatever it might be.

161
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we put over one hundred new courses up each

162
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: and every year, and we're always looking for new people

163
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: who want to pass on their passion to other people

164
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: in the community, teach their skill, their craft so that

165
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: other people can enjoy it as well. So we're absolutely

166
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: always looking to hear from people who go, hey, I've

167
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: got this thing I can do and maybe I can

168
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: share it with other people.

169
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Fantastic, All right, Leslie, good chatting with you. Enjoy the

170
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: next couple of days. For weeks, rather, i should say,

00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: until we speak again. I'll look forward to that as well.

172

Speaker 1: Leslie Venning, the CEO of the WEA here in South Australia,

174
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: been going forever and years ago, decades ago, I did

175
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: a couple of their courses and they're really good, just

176
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: really good. So if you feel you need to expand

177
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: the horizons, whether it's art, music, business, you name it,

178
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: they've got everything on offer. And if you're really good

179
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: at something, qualified in something, and you think I'd love

180
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: to pass on this skill whatever it might be, get

181
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: in touch and who knows, new doors may open for

182
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: you as well,
