Prize to give away (I hope that will get your attention the explanation is
below)

Some of you know me, for those that don't I am Gary Nolan and I am currently
faculty at NSCC (Nova Scotia Community College) a provincially created
community college with 13 campuses across Nova Scotia. In a former life,
about 10 years ago, I did work in the 3000 world for 20 years. Now I am just
a lurker on the list, I just can't seem to let go.

Every 5 years our Information Technology program has a formal review to
ensure that we are meeting the needs of the students and industry. Some of
the many questions we ask are:

What does industry want from our graduates?
What are the careers that need to be filled and what skill sets are
required?
What are the right sets of competencies that our graduates need?

This is where you people come in. With the collected years of experience on
this list server I know there will be some extremely relevant and insightful
answers to these questions. This is your opportunity to help future
graduates of our program meet the world well equipped. You do not need to
give answers to all the questions just tell me what you would expect/like a
recent graduate to be able to do when they show up to work.

Please Please send me your ideas an thoughts on these topics. You can send
them to the list, to me at work [log in to unmask] or at home
[log in to unmask]  I will be collating the answers and taking them
to our planning team next week.

Now to the prize . My boss has given me a NSCC memento to send out to a
lucky respondent. I will take all the names of those who responded and put
them in a hat. I will contact the winner by email.

I wish to thank you in advance for you information. I know education is an
important topic to everyone and I appreciate your time and ideas.

Gary Nolan
