IPAA NSW 2009 Public Sector Training Courses Program

The 2009 IPAA NSW public sector training program offers a range of new courses designed in consultation with both central and line agencies to build skills and capabilities across the public sector.

The 2009 course program includes:

  • The Aboriginal mentoring program run very successfully as a pilot in 2008 and featuring a blended learning approach with face to face and use of a variety of online environments
  • Mentoring and coaching both forming part of our Leadership program
  • Several of our extremely successful ongoing programs such as Ministerial correspondence writing, Developing and writing operational policies and procedures and The policy process
  • An expanded inhouse or customised agency program to better suit the need for agencies to effectively expend their training dollars
  • Expansion of the range and number of qualifications offered and delivered with Registered Training Organisations
  • Supporting the Department of Premier and Cabinet Workforce Strategy and the NSW State Plan
  • NSW department of Commerce procurement training programs and NSW treasury Gateway Review programs.

The program has been developed from research which included:

  • a review of international literature on trends in learning and development in public administration
  • a review of programs being offered by competitors for example TAFE, ServiceFirst, AIM, the APSC, universities and other IPAAs
  • a review of successful and unsuccessful programs of IPAA NSW from 2004–2008
  • a focus group of human resources and learning and development directors and managers from public sector agencies
  • a survey of human resources and learning and development directors and managers from public sector agencies
  • a survey of consultants and
  • interviews with human resources and learning and development directors and managers.

During 2008 IPAA NSW has expanded its panel of consultants and is well placed to offer to conduct large to small scale consultancies in performance review, organisational restructure and strategic planning. Our high quality consultants continue to maintain IPAA NSW’s reputation of providing a high standard of delivery of public programs, customised agency programs and consultancies.

Unfortunately two years of trialling public programs in the regional areas of NSW has proved unsuccessful with little interest and poor attendances, and these will no longer be offered. The highly successful regional customised agency program will continue to expand.

We hope you engage with and enjoy our professional development program for 2009.
