Skills Development
In-House Workshops
Training programs are available for in-house and regional delivery. For a one-off
cost, a Council may host the training and invite adjoining Councils to participate.
The savings are worthwhile, both in time and cost of travel and accommodation,
and may allow Councils to have more staff participate than would otherwise be
possible.

If you are interested in any of these programs, complete and submit a Registration
Brochure or contact Christine Warne at: cwarne@ipweaq.asn.au
