Participants in the level 3 program are required to conduct a SWOT analysis of your workplace prior to coming to the course, which you will receive information and guidance on.
The skills and knowledge covered within this course are building on to those introduced in previous courses. There is also a focus on looking at the broader picture outside of our organisation and understanding the work of unions and organisations supporting the union.
You will also be reviewing previous action plans as well as developing new ones to work on at your workplace.
