Our collective members have outstanding skills in training development and assessment and can work with you to develop competency-based training, curriculum development and assessing. Our collective members provide numerous training workshops and our training packages offered below can be customised to suit your service. Training is offered both in person and online.
We understand the importance of personalisation, which is why we engage in co-design and foster connections with the service providers we collaborate with we develop relationships with you and will develop connections pre, during and post the training.
During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic , we forged partnerships with various service providers to create and deliver industry specific training. We understood the importance of addressing the unique needs and challenge that arose during this period. Our training offerings encompassed a range of vital topics such as worker wellness, trauma informed care, cultural safety and anti-racism, child protection training and supporting managers in leading their teams effectively.
The opportunity to collaborate with teams in a connected manner is particularly valued by us. We remain committed to continuing our partnerships, and delivering training that is not only effective but also adaptive to ever-evolving needs of the various intersecting industries.
We understand the importance of staying up to date with the latest research, legislations, information and knowledges in striving to deliver high quality training . We believe that it is not enough to simply deliver the training; we must also mirror the processes and techniques that we teach. By doing so, we provide participants with a first-hand experience of the best practises in action.
Our educators are highly experienced, knowledgeable and also carefully considered for each training that we deliver. There is a lot of thought that goes into how we provide training, and who will provide the training. We genuinely care about the work we do and are always improving our services, to give our participants the best we can offer.
We are also committed to other formal education pathways and teach into these including the ECAV Aboriginal qualification pathway in partnership with Sydney University. Many of our Collective Members are academics (professors, senior lecturers, and tutors at various universities).
