He was, as he'd arrived at this chinwag late and looking a bit tired. A familiar sort of weariness that those closest to him knew what it was about.

He took a place by Emma and clutched a cup of coffee and listened in to the conversation at hand. "H'mm..." His foggy-day blue eyes squinted in thought as he brought the cup up for a sip, placed it downward and then spoke. "I think it's important to teach them not just what we do here, but give them practical and flexible skills that transcend multiple disciplines. For example, archiving and safe-handling of prophecies might be useful to someone hoping to find a career not only in the Ministry of Magic, but also library & museum work. If we offer this we may not need to test them into specific areas as they could benefit from all of them." Though, perhaps they could test them before they completed the program and certify them. Could be fun and give the children a sense of achievement. "Out of curiousity, was there a specific age-group we were hoping to be working with?"

And Jasper had taken a seat next to her. The blonde gave the man a friendly smile, grateful that he'd been so kind and courteous to her the first day on the job after a painfully tough hiatus. She nodded her head in greeting and listened to him speak about teaching the juniors skills that could help them in a multitude of areas. Yes, that was brilliant! Emma was all for it. "Yes, that is a grand idea, Jasper. Teach them the skills that they can apply to any field. And perhaps we wouldn't need a test. Though the test may prove helpful when it comes to seeing where they "best" fit or which positions suit their minds the best." She paused and continued to think more about how with the general skills that they were teaching that they should pair this with specific ideas that they would learn from each room. It'd be important.

Then Jasper raised an important question. Which specific age-group were they working with? She blinked for she didn't really know. The blonde had assumed that they would be working with recent graduates from wizarding schools. "Do correct me if I'm wrong, but I believed that it was with graduates from wizarding schools?" she said glancing at Ashby to see whether or not this was the correct idea.
