The Community Group Training Program is a free program provided by Council to paid and unpaid workers within the community service sector. It's available to people who deliver services as well as to the volunteers on committees of management who oversee the management of the sector. The aim is to support the capacity of community groups and their committees of management in their role of providing support to local people.
There are currently no training sessions scheduled for 2008, however an exciting new program will commence in 2009. In order to ensure that we plan and schedule training sessions that best meet your community group's needs, please take 3 minutes to complete this simple on-line survey.
