Bluescope Steel
We have been extremely pleased with the work that your organisation, and particular the resources that you have engaged on site. We are currently engaged in the recognition of current competency stage of the program that your team designed for us, and as far as I can see, the operations personnel have been very positive about the process. We have been particularly pleased with the self starting and tenacious approach of both Marie Dagnall Curley and Alan Russell as they have faced challenges due to management changes over the last months. We are looking forward to the remaining stages of the program.

Over recent years I have worked closely with the staff of the Steelhaven Skills Centre, which is managed and operated by UB. I have been impressed with the manner in which the Engineering Trades training and consultancy services have been delivered to our workforce and the focus on quality, safety, innovation and outcomes.

City of Ballarat
Mr Rob Soar, Business Systems Manager, City of BallaratWe wanted benefits for the organisation as well as the individual and outcomes have been good. As much as keeping the ship afloat, staff are looking forward and helping to plan for growth. In general terms staff have found the study challenging but also engrossing, interesting and immediately implementable. I am proud of having an educational institution capable of providing high level learning in Ballarat.
Haymes Paint
Haymes' values are very important and we need to communicate those values strongly in our training. That's why we went into partnership with Ballarat University. They understand our values, they understand this business - what it means and what it stands for.

Southern Health
Patsy O'Dowd, Manager, Organisational Capability and DevelopmentOver recent years UB has successfully provided a range of training for employees of Southern Health. I have been impressed with UB's genuine desire to meet our organisational needs through the tailoring of course content, flexible delivery arrangements and high levels of customer service. Given that UB has obviously worked with other health providers, this has positively impacted their service to Southern Health.
Transfield Services
Ms. Jeannette Lang, Transfield ServicesUB and TS have worked in a very successful commercial alliance for the past 6 years. The UB staff have made a significant impact upon our business through the brokerage and delivery of quality training, development of training materials and resources, provision of short term consultancies and other employee development initiatives. UB understands our business and its culture and that is important in the effective supply of services.
UFS
Ms. Lynne McLennan, Chief Executive Officer, UFSWhat we wanted to achieve was to give people the skills, confidence and leadership qualities that would help them take responsibility for their own work area and to create a more collaborative management approach. The value of having the University on board is that it has the capacity to address any issues that arise and the ability to tailor the program to meet our needs.
The training is already showing results within the organisation with a notable lift in leadership and innovation among staff.
