Learner goals and capabilities

Are you looking to provide additional or expanded services to your clients, or work on special projects but don't have adequate resources or time to do so?

Our students have successfully completed a comprehensive range of courses, cultivating skills around understanding organizations and communities and facilitating interventions in small group settings. As facilitators, they will be able to assess the situation, identify needs and develop new programs or initiatives, and help your organization build effective teams.

Their well developed interpersonal and communication skills will most likely be assets to your business or community environment.
