Basic Introduction to Community Work - Central

Introduction
The ‘Inspire’ Community Training Group have developed and
designed this training course to provide an opportunity for those
interested in working in community work either in a voluntary or part
time basis by developing their skills, knowledge, and awareness of
community work practices and principles.
The ‘Inspire’ Community Training Group have identified a gap in
provision of suitably trained practitioners to deliver community
development and capacity building work requested by community
groups and individuals. It is envisaged that by participating in the
course we will be able to nurture and grow our own workforce of
community workers.
It is also envisaged that the course will act as a catalyst for those
wishing to progress into further and higher education, and will also
act as the first step on the ladder to volunteering and employment in
the local community development/capacity building field.
The ‘Inspire’ Community Training Group hope to have the coursed
accredited, which will offer the participants the opportunity to obtain a
recognised national qualification.
