Roper Gulf Regional Council and Bradford Institute have taken out the Industry Collaboration of the Year at the NT Training Awards, a night dedicated to recognising training excellence across the Territory.
This award recognises the outstanding efforts of both organisations in tailoring their Certificate III in Community Services program to meet the unique needs of the students completing the course.
The Certificate III in Community Services program has been specifically designed to address the challenges faced in remote areas and focuses on providing practical skills and knowledge that are relevant to the needs of these communities.
The program covers a wide range of topics, including cultural awareness, communication skills, community development, and advocacy.
It also emphasises the importance of self-care and well-being, equipping participants with the tools they need to support the mental, emotional, and physical health of community members.
By training individuals who are already embedded within the community, the program ensures that the skills and knowledge acquired are not only relevant but also sustainable.
“The NT Training Award for Industry Collaboration of the Year is a testament to the commitment and dedication of both organisations involved,” Roper Gulf Regional Council CEO Marc Gardner said.
“It recognises their innovative approach to education and their focus on the needs of people living in these communities.
“This award serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration, creativity, and community-driven initiatives in addressing the unique challenges faced by community life.”
This approach not only benefits the participants but also strengthens the overall capacity of the community to address its unique challenges and improve the quality of life for its members.
The partnership between Roper Gulf Regional Council and Bradford Institute has proven to be highly successful in achieving its objectives as all applicant of this course received their final qualification.
Chris Barrett, trainer at Bradford Institute said it was a great moment for the program.
“I am thrilled for the Roper Gulf Community and particularly thrilled for the night patrollers who completed this course.
“Without the commitment from these students we would have never won this award, they trusted the process, trusted us and this is for them.”
Roper Gulf Regional Council and Bradford Institute are proud to have received this prestigious award and are committed to continuing their efforts in providing quality education and support to people living in the Roper Gulf Region.
Roper Gulf Regional Council and Bradford Institute would also like to extend their thanks to the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) for their ongoing support and funding for this program and so many others like it.
