The Trust for Developing Communities is developing a new training course ‘Working in C-ODE’ for anyone working in communities and wanting a level 2 or 3 qualification in Community Development.
It is for anyone
* in paid work or volunteering
* who is actively involved in community development,
* in voluntary and community organisations, statutory bodies or businesses.
They are holding an information workshop on the morning of Wednesday 27th April where you can find out more about the course and help to co-design the course materials.
Learners have described the similar WICO course as being a ‘a life-changing factor’ and ‘without doubt a stepping stone into employment’.
‘Working in C-ODE’ will support you to develop practical and analytical skills to work with a range of communities. You will gain an understanding of community development values and purpose, work with community groups and the diversity of communities as well as skills in community development practice – inclusive group work, assessing community needs and reflective practice.
The course will be delivered and sponsored by the Trust for Developing Communities with support from the University of Brighton and bursaries will be available.
