Eastern Volunteers and Swinburne University have developed the Diploma of Management - (Volunteer Management)
During November and December representatives from Swinburne and Eastern Volunteers met with Managers/ Supervisors of volunteers, CEOs of community sector organisations and Local government representatives to:
- select appropriate units of competency
- contextualise course content
- discuss case studies and scenarios
- identify appropriate workplace assessment tasks
As a result of these discussions we are pleased to offer the Diploma of Management – (Volunteer Management) which will include the following relevant and appropriate content:
- Manage people performance
- Ensure team effectiveness
- Manage diversity in the workplace
- Ensure a safe workplace
- Plan, organise and facilitate learning in the workplace
- Plan and implement services marketing
- Manage projects
- Manage budgets and financial plans
The need for networking was identified through our information sessions. We’re pleased to offer the following networking sessions, which will also include opportunities for enrolment.
Wednesday 18th January 4pm – 7pm 2012 Croydon Campus
Tuesday 7th February 4pm -7pm 2012 Lilydale Campus
The Program
This “Blended Delivery Model” will consist of 32 weeks – 96 hours of “off the job training” involving 8 full day face to face teaching sessions totalling 64 hours with the remaining 32 hours consisting of:
- 2 workplace visits by Swinburne Supervisor
- RPL (Recognition of prior learning) discussion/collection of evidence and information
- Workplace project and tasks
The time commitment required will vary according to each individuals study and learning needs.
We are suggesting on average 2 hours per week would be the most that an individual would be required to commit to the program over the period of the course.
