Siôn James

Project Officer, FE & VET, Youth

Siôn engages with stakeholders from Further Education, Vocational Education and Training, and the Youth sectors to raise awareness of Taith, as well as offering support to applicants and beneficiaries through each stage of their project lifecycle.

Taith is a wonderful opportunity for learners and education practitioners in Wales to increase their international dimension. Having participated in and worked on other international education programmes in the past, I know how life-changing these experiences can be, and I’m excited to see the benefits that Taith will bring to Wales and the wider world.

Other Staff

Walter Brooks

FE, VET, Adult Education and Higher Education Programme Manager

Walter leads on programme engagement across the further education, vocational education training and adult education sectors.

I’m excited about contributing to develop a groundbreaking programme that offers so many benefits to Wales on so many levels. Experiencing other countries and cultures transformed my own life, and I relish the idea that we are providing those life-changing opportunities to a wide range of sectors, communities and individuals in Wales.

Michele Dineen

Finance Officer

Michele looks at the processes and procedures for Taith, and assists with financial administration and the preparation of financial reports, monitoring budgets and account reconciliation for the Programme.

It is exciting to be part of a new venture and contribute to the Taith programme. I bring 30 years of finance experience mainly in the private sector but have a few years behind me in the public sector. My last position was as the Accounts and Finance Officer for a new start-up company. I’m sure Taith will be equally as challenging and I look forward to working with the team.

‘It was a wonderful opportunity for me to join Taith in May, it is such a lovely team to work for and its a unique programme to be part of and the first of its kind for Wales. The programme aims to give life-changing experiences for people in Wales to study, train, volunteer and work all over the world. This programme is exciting and rewarding and it is a privilege to be part of it.’
