NVR Hubs’ Post

The 2024 EAIE Conference was something special for me. I had the chance to share my experience and ideas as speaker in one of the sessions. Something big for me, as I have always looked up to EAIE speakers with deep admiration. However this wouldn’t have been possible without meeting Edmund Guzman last year at the Admission reception. He was willing to listen and welcome the ideas of a young professional, taking the initiative to develop such ideas into a talk for the next Conference. And also it wouldn’t have been possible without Dennis Bot who jumped in with no hesitation and proved to be the best moderator we could have asked for, sharing as well his fundamental point of view. I am happy to say that our presentation truly worked out and I have been so surprised in finding out how well we worked together and how complementary we were coming from three different backgrounds (although I did have the highest expectations)! This is what EAIE: European Association for International Education is able to create! But I must also thank Paola Tedeschi, my team leader and everyday source of inspiration, who has created an environment where we can grow, and my colleagues Laura Cavriana Gianmarco Balistreri FEDERICA G. that supported me everyday and covered my daily tasks to allow me to attend the conference. We know that September is a crazy time in the Admission sector! And I am also grateful to the many of you who joined our session - I didn’t expect so many people! This is the demonstration that trying to keep a human approach in the marketing and admission sector is an important topic. I was happy to notice that our speeches were inputs for a lively conversation, this is what we were aiming for! Not giving the ultimate solution (something that we do not have except for tips, inputs and lessons we’ve learned along the way), but starting the conversation, making the right questions arise. We as admission officers are drops in the ocean, but it is our responsibility to start asking the right questions to guide the conversation in the right direction and, more importantly, to make the conversation on such topics happen. Another lesson I learned and suggestion to share with all the young professionals: don’t be afraid of speaking up, you never know what can happen next!

Some tough choices to make, so many good sessions….

Shelf Development... def. Attending numerous courses, conventions and exhibitions and taking copious amounts of notes and then putting all of that information on a shelf without taking any significant action to put into place any of the learnings from the event. Can also be enhanced by typing these "hand-written" notes up and doing the same i.e. nothing.

🚀 Key Takeaways from the AAC Conference! 🚀 Here are some of the key takeaways that we took from the AAC conference for your information: 🏡 Federal Housing Plans: - The government plans to build 1.2 million homes to address the housing crisis, but the skills shortage makes this ambitious. One solution is increasing skilled workers via immigration, though this could further strain the housing market. We recently posted more details about this on our website and LinkedIn. 👷 Certifier Mentor Programs: - With many certifiers ageing, the AAC discussed a shift toward mentor programs to support younger certifiers. 🛠️ Building Commissioner Updates: - The current Building Commissioner has made significant industry changes and is leaving soon. The commissioner's office is also launching a defects library to support construction professionals to build industry capability, it will be released 13 June. 🖥️ Planning Portal Issues: - Universal frustration with the Planning Portal! The AAC advocates for better training, reinstating the helpline, introducing a 'not applicable' button, and real-time testing. 📜 New Building Act: - The NSW government committed to creating a new Building Act which utilises plain English. The new Building Act will consolidate and modernise many pieces of legislation, some decades old, scattered throughout the state’s statute books. It’s intended to reduce complexity. The first draft will be out next month. 🔒 Scam Awareness: - Beware of sophisticated scams and phishing attempts. Always use multi-factor authentication and check if your details have been compromised on Have I Been Pwned: https://lnkd.in/e-Qp3_C ⚖️ Certifier Responsibilities: - Many certifiers face disciplinary actions due to competence, diligence, or integrity issues. Advice on responding to investigations was provided. 📋 Certifier Insurance: - Insurance providers highlighted crucial clauses to watch out for in certifier insurance. 🤖 Chat GPT & AI Integration: - A demo of Chat GPT 4o was impressive! It was suggested Chat GPT 4.0 can help certifiers on a daily basis, with regulatory guidance and quick access to building codes, amongst other things. AI experts suggested integrating AI into businesses and creating strategic workforce plans. 📊 Chain of Responsibility: - A preview of an infographic highlighting the chain of responsibility for design and construction was shared. It is intended to create more clarity around the responsible parties in the end-to-end process. Amongst other highlights! It was fantastic catching up, swapping stories, and connecting with fellow industry peers. Big thanks to the AAC, and we're already looking forward to next year's gathering! #AACConference #BuildingCertification #Construction #HousingCrisis #SkillsShortage #FutureCert #AIIntegration #TrainingPrograms #ScamAwareness #NewBuildingAct #CertifierResponsibilities
