Learning and skills development

 

The Wales Co-operative Centre is a leading provider of training for the third sector in Wales.

Our workshops are specifically designed for aspiring, emerging and established businesses including credit unions, co-operatives and social enterprises. 

We're committed to helping organisations in the third sector develop key skills and abilities to progress and grow, whilst improving customer satisfaction and retention.

The Wales Co-operative Centre offers a range of workshops, master classes and seminars designed to improve the abilities, skills and knowledge of  third sector managers, staff and volunteers of all levels.

However, training is open to everyone. We can arrange bespoke workshops for your organisation. Please get in touch for further information.

Our workshops are delivered by proven business professionals and qualified trainers who can help you develop the skills you need.

 

We offer a range of ways to take part in learning opportunities:

 

Workshops

 

One or two day workshops put the emphasis on learning new skills through practical exercises, group discussion and exchanging ideas.  Designed to be fun and interactive, they give you plenty of opportunity to try out new skills before returning to your organisation.

 

Seminars

Intensive half-day seminars focus on specialist areas.  The presentation and discussion format of these events allow participants to share experiences in a particular field under the guidance of an expert discussion leader.

 

Master classes

Our master classes allow participants to meet and gain first hand experience from an individual who has set up a social enterprise, or an expert within a specified field.

 

Pricing

All courses are free to clients of the Social Enterprise Support Project, subject to approval by a Wales Co-operative Centre Development Officer. For all other organisations bespoke charges apply.
