Part Three: The student learning journey
Lyn Risson — STEPS 1997
Faculty Administration Officer
Faculty of Business and Informatics
The support and encouragement I received while
undertaking the STEPS program allowed me to
achieve my goal of completing a Business degree
through CQU. The skills I acquired through the
program — effective communication, organisational
skills and time management — I have been able to
apply to my work and other areas of my life .245
Gai Patricia Sypher — STEPS 1998
Senior Administration Officer
I decided to do the STEPS program in 1998 before
commencing a Bachelor of Arts degree. I had not
studied since leaving school 20 years prior and
needed to develop a knowledge of academic writing
and presentation. My family also benefited from the
program because it showed them the amount of
commitment required from me to undertake tertiary
study. 246
Kathleen Howard — STEPS 2004
Administration Assistant
I did the STEPS program in 2004 and found it
extremely helpful, both academically and personally.
Being with like-minded people who were trying to
better themselves, and learning skills such as
computing and academic assignment writing were
very beneficial to my confidence and further study. 247
