Advanced Co-op Developer Training in Manitoba and the Maritimes

THE OVERALL GOALS of the Advanced Training Session are to provide participants with the ability to assess when the cooperative option is the right one, the knowledge to assist groups in the development process, and increased skills for how to share new knowledge with potential co-op groups.

DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

The session is three full days with some flexibility on the final day to accommodate travel schedules.  Participants will meet during the evening of the second day for a DVD presentation and discussion; the session is organized to illustrate six Development Phases plus a final section for reflection on the role of Co-op Developer.  Training for each Development Phase will include topics for discussion presented in a systematic way (e.g. steps, checklists, decision points.)  A case study will be used throughout the session to illustrate specific topics and approaches, as well as the regional context.  Participants will be expected to bring examples from their workplace for discussion in class and to assist in the application of concepts.

Tools will be provided that assist in the application of knowledge, e.g. sample documents, outlines, examples.
