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.

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 \n\nGuest speakers\n\n \n\nBrenton Woolston\, Managing Director\, Almondco Australia Ltd \nBrenton Woolston is Managing Director of Almondco Australia Ltd\, a 100% dedicated almond processing and marketing company. Brenton was appointed to Almondco as Marketing Manager in 2001 and was promoted to Group General Manager just over a year later.  In 2012 Brenton commenced his leading role as Managing Director.
