<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">At our Industry Dinner there was a lot of discussion about auspicing arrangements, and I have received a number of queries and phone calls on the topic since Kangan TAFE withdrew from auspicing IDM in schools.
 They will still take students on their campus, but this was certainly not an option for us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
