Pauline Smith (NSW TAFE)

The Zondii Team recently visited Pauline Smith from NSW TAFE - Armidale Rural Skills Centre. Pauline shared her extensive expertise on wool classing, how she teaches the skill and how students will integrate their learning into the wool industry. Pauline shared her excitement to get Zondii technology into the hands of wool classers, stating:

"I'm very excited...we've got to have something that gives you an instant result, that keeps up with the pace of a shearing shed and that's pretty quick!"

The Zondii team are extremly grateful for the insights that Pauline shared and excited to continue our relationship, with on site visits to share wool classing technology with students.
