“This has been the most valuable course I’ve undertaken since I started in my role. We all know the need for a strategic approach but putting this into practice is difficult. This course gave me much greater clarity on what strategy is and how to work with others to deliver on a strategic plan.
Jeffrey is a highly experienced and engaging facilitator I am much clearer and more confident in decision making and delivery having completed this course.”

By collaborating and building a shared understanding of the new laws, we can and will grow our unions and win generation-defining change for workers.
In the face of falling union density and the pressures of everyday organising, it often feels like we are treading water when it comes to union growth. Every union member has a vital role to play, which is why it’s so important for organisers to take the time to transfer their knowledge, confidence and skills to union members.
