Looking Ahead
In 2009, we hope to be in a position to offer 4 courses within our local community:
- Towards Employment-Opening Doors
- Hospitality/Budget
- Core Posture
- 'Something about You'
The Cross Training team is passionate to be able to offer relevant courses and support to the wider community to those dis-advantaged, isolated and under-resourced to:
- empower those disadvantaged by unemployment and needing to re-enter the workforce with workforce and self-image training courses
- provide practical skills for time and economic constraints with our hospitiality/budget courses
- build over-all health & wellbeing with Core Posture exercise groups
Through these objectives, we desire to build into the health & wholeness of our community through increasing community interaction and support systems, decreasing isolation and empowering personal resilience.
