Visit Our Blog

TDN has set up a blog to keep the conversation and post relevant information to the Network members. We encourage you to visit and share information with TDN members. The aim of the Training Directions Network is to bring together training providers and interested workers in Western Sydney to discuss and identify current cross-sectorial strategies to meet the training needs of community based organisations. The Training Directions Network will aim to establish priority areas for training, develop strategies for innovative training for community based organisations and to develop informal and formal partnerships and networks.

Objectives

• To explore potential funding sources to increase the scope of available training to community based organisations,

• To assess and identify needs, duplication, deficits and priority training issues with a long-term outcome to develop implementation strategies that reinforce learning cultures within community based organisations,

• To act as a forum for information and communication exchange leading to working together cooperatively and collaboratively with other related Networks and Interagencies.

• Act as an advocate for training and related issues for community based organisations in Western Sydney to be represented at a local, State and Federal government level, with the outcome to influence policy, funding and training delivery.

Reporting Mechanisms

The Training Directions Network and its activities will be reported to the core group via the bi-monthly meetings. If time limited working parties form then they will also use the former reporting mechanism as a way of monitoring and evaluating the Network achievements.

Review Mechanisms

The Training Directions Network will hold regular planning and evaluation sessions to ensure the aims of the Network are being met, and if emerging issues need to be considered by the Network. Opportunities for informal reporting will occur at and between the bi–monthly meetings.

Membership

Membership is by invitation to non–government and government training providers, community development workers and other stakeholders in identifying and responding to the training and development needs of the community based sector within Western Sydney.

Please contact Miguel Ferrero on 9687-9742, or email:  miguelf@wscf.org.au should you have any queries about the Training Directions Network (TDN).
