Associate network
Helping with program design, delivery and facilitation, associates either work as part of our team or deliver a program end to end. The associate network allows us to consistently deliver high-quality programs all over the country, as well as offering industry-specific or tailored leadership development programs on demand.
Our associates share our values and are uniquely skilled in developing and delivering leadership programs and initiatives to manage change in rural, regional and remote Australia. While associates are often alumni from our programs this is not a requirement.
