PROGRAM 8 Commencing October 2009

Overview:

The Community Leadership Development Program, a partnership between the Western Australian Council of Social Service (WACOSS) and MODAL provides an excellent opportunity for people working in the Community Services sector to enhance their leadership skills.

Since 1995, the Diploma of Business has become a benchmark for management and team leaders in the business sector. In the Community Development and Leadership program we have taken a diploma of business from the business services package to offer to managers, team leaders and coordinators of human service organisations.

There are 8 units to be delivered in one day training sessions during a 12 month period. (Note first training session includes an additional introductory day).

Thanks to the commitment of MODAL to community services and to leadership development this Nationally Accredited program will cost just $2,000 (plus GST).

This cost includes:

Training and assessment in all eight units over 12 months + 2 hours of coaching credits
All text books, training materials and handouts
Catering on all courses
