Working to help local govt and other workers get national recognition , portability of skills recognition is just another way we help ASUmembers, local govt and other employees each day.
" The qualification's will also improve the quality public services members deliver each day to the community from regional art galleries, to inner city libraries, museums, workplace information systems and the archives of our public records....the new package is important to citizens using these services but also those working to provide them, "
The package review was part of ibsa work and included national consultations as well as ASU state branches, news and web items via the ASU web , as well as the consultations by IBSA - see IBSA links
