Positions available on Health Leadership Training Program
The Fraser Coast has been chosen as a trial site for a program to develop leaders in the health sector.
“The Health sector is the largest employer on the Fraser Coast,” Councillor Jade Wellings said.
“Having access to a professional development leadership training program that will enhance the skills of future leaders in the health sector will bring many benefits to the region.”
The Health Leadership Program is part of a $9million initiative under the Regional Skills Investment Strategy (RSIS) which supports industry collaboration on local training solutions to address current workforce skills needs.
The Fraser Coast Regional Council has partnered with the Queensland Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) to deliver the Regional Skills Investment Strategy (RSIS).
“The program is targeting the health care and social assistance industry workforce, primarily in Health, Aged Care and Disability Services in the Fraser Coast,” Cr Wellings said.
Under the Health Leadership Program, existing Fraser Coast workers within these sectors can formalise their current skills through accredited training.
The flexible training program, based on industry feedback, will be co-ordinated by Council and delivered by College Australia and GreenX7.
“The program will start in mid-June. Expressions of interest have opened and can be lodged by emailing Council,” Cr Wellings said.
The program has a limited number of fee free positions available for eligible people currently working in the health care and social assistance sector.
Businesses which want to be part of the program can contact Fraser Coast Regional Skill Investment Strategy Project Co-ordinator Kerry Fullarton on 0436 929 854 for more information.
This Regional Skills Investment Strategy project is proudly supported and funded by the Queensland Government.
