Attitude is very important, unquestionably, but so is the drive to undertake the course in the first place and once enrolled, the ongoing support to complete it. This support is especially important for mature and regional students studying part time and on-line with recent research revealing that less than 30% of students from this cohort will finish their degree course.
The quality of on-line student support varies markedly from one institution (or even course) to the next hence the desirablility of regular, face to face, qualified tutor support. Hopefully the new hub offers its students such support? If not, I for one am able, willing and qualified to assist.
It's not so much a question of skills but attitude. A construction project which is currently underway in the region has needed people to fill roles as unskilled as labourers but finding people with the right attitude to even come to work without too many days off is non-existent. One subcontractor has had many people do two days work and then not turn up again
