Staff & Volunteer Training

With many former graduates being employed by the Esther Foundation, bringing a wealth of expertise and experience to present program participants with them; it was decided that the Esther Foundation would fund and provide for further training and development for these valuable staff within the workplace.  It was also decided that this same training would be extended to core volunteers within the organisation also.
 
These valuable team members have access to, and in some cases have already completed, the following advanced education studies;

• Adv. Dip. Communtiy Sector Management
• Dip. Community Service
• Dip. Youth Services 
• Cert III Community Services

Presently, seven staff and volunteers are being delivered futher education as part of their development and employment within the organisation. Such training not only develops these employees and staff within their role at Esther, but reinforces their role within the community as mentors and leaders to others.
 
This education is being facilitated by Dr Ross Woods from the Australian Centre for Advanced Studies.
