Agreed. That's what's most important about a given job/work/task - what you learn from it. Even if we'll have to balance the costs, that's really something to encourage whenever possible - great initiative Deborah! > Now, unfortunately the project can only fund the foreseeable work > currently, so it's not possible to pay upfront for the complete amount > because we don't know yet what new work there will be for you in the > future and how you will fit and be appealed by new tasks that could > arise.

Would be a good way to approach this yep. Also, because Deborah is going to get this *instead* of being paid, it would be a good opportunity to also put in place the development bonus. I don't remember the % we discussed for bonuses, but if Deborah gets objectives for her work (for example within the next 6 months) and fullfill them, it would pay for that extra % of her courses, in addition to the price for the work she would actually have performed by then.
