At Good Things Foundation, we love to offer free, informative training to our Network Partners. This year, we wanted to find out more about what topics and areas of training and development were of most interest to you, so we sent out a training survey to help us plan our 2021/22 training calendar.
The response we had to the survey was astounding, with 562 people taking the time to complete it. It was clearly something that Network Partners thought was worth spending time on, as the average time spent completing the survey was just over 30 minutes! This shows us that you are just as dedicated to your training and development as we are.
From the training survey, the top 5 requested topics for training were:
- Marketing your Be Connected program
- Motivating new learners and keeping them engaged
- Digital mentoring
- Delivering a face-to-face session
- Be Connected grants and funding
We still have some work to do before we can finalise the full training calendar, but we’re happy to announce the return of our marketing your program for learners webinar in July. We hope to share more details on this webinar in the coming weeks.
As part of the survey, we also asked Network Partners if they would be interested in being part of a small focus group of testers for our upcoming training and resources. Again, we saw a lot of people express their interest in this, which is amazing! Those of you that shared your details will be seeing an email in your inbox soon inviting your thoughts and ideas on some new resources we have in development.
To everyone that took part in the survey, we’d just like to say a big thank you. If you didn’t get a chance to complete the survey and would like to share your thoughts on any of our training or resources, you can always contact us by email at connect@goodthingsfoundation.org or by calling us on (02) 9051 9292.
