ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END

My nine years as Education Specialist at COL have now come to an end and it is time for me to bid you adieu. I want to thank every member of our partner institutions for joining the journey towards flexible and blended TVET. We have laughed a lot and learned a lot and I hope that your journey will continue. So many people have benefited from your efforts to improve access and quality in skills training.

I am going back to consultancy and will be busy in Sierra Leone for a while. I am sure many of our paths will cross again.
