Or do you have directors and executives looking to deepen their knowledge of the sector? This is a 2-hour online program designed to provide a general introduction to the co-ops and mutual industry in Australia and globally. \nThis course is suitable for anyone new to co-operatives and mutuals and those looking for a refresher and information on the live sector. It can be tailored to your existing induction training program\, or your employees can take one of our online classes throughout the year. \nIt is facilitated by well-known co-operative development expert Antony McMullen and includes live interaction and two guest speakers. \nAbout this course\nThe key objective is to educate and inspire people working in the sector to understand more about the unique role and contribution of co-operatives and mutuals to help them in their role in their CME\, whether frontline staff\, management or directors. It will help build a meaningful connection between the employee and the wider CME sector\, as well as strengthen the relationship with their individual employer. \nThis is achieved through a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles which underpin CMEs as businesses that put purpose\, people\, and communities at the heart of the enterprise. \nIt is delivered in a live\, interactive webinar structure with a unique live Q&A with two sector leaders. Knowledge is delivered in a fun and accessible format. \nBy undertaking the course\, your employees will learn: \n\nAbout the co-operative and mutual business model and how it is different to other kinds of business structures.\nAbout the purpose of co-ops and mutuals and how they are structured to benefit members.\nSome real examples of co-ops and mutuals through case studies.\nHow co-ops and mutuals are started here and around the world.\nWhy working for a co-op or mutual matters – in live conversations with two senior co-op or mutual business leaders.\n\nLearning outcomes\nUpon completing the course\, attendees will be able to demonstrate their understanding of: \n\nThe size\, scale and impact of the co-op and mutual sector in Australia.\nThe unique nature and fundamental concepts of co-operative and mutual businesses.\nSimilarities and differences from other business models\, including shareholder-owned businesses.\nThe origins and development of co-operatives and mutuals in Australia and overseas (including mutual ADIs\, Friendly Societies and agricultural and retail co-ops).\nThe seven global co-operative principles and the three mutual values.\nWhy co-operatives and mutuals matter to a sustainable economy and society.\n\n\nLength: 2 hours \nDelivery mode: Online \nProfessional development: 2 CPD points are awarded \nGuest speakers\n \nKristy Walters\, Chairperson\, Haystacks Solar Garden Co-operative\nKristy is a Director at Community Power Agency\, Australia’s leading organisation supporting regional areas to achieve the best outcomes from renewable energy development through building the capacity of communities\, training industry and providing expertise to all levels of government. \nShe developed her excellent skills in facilitation\, collaboration\, project management and organising from her background in community campaigns on climate change\, leading environmental education programs and managing the governance and operations of three co-operatives and several non-profits. \nKristy is passionate about ensuring the transition to renewables is as fair and fast as possible while ensuring communities have a seat at the decision-making table.
