Nurture Development has extensive experience in the area of training, including the design, delivery and evaluation of training programmes. We have developed an approach to training that focuses on maximising the individual and group’s capacity to learn. Our trainers focus on learning outcomes, and particularly on the practical application of this learning in the workplace or community.
Facilitated by our strategic link with the ABCD Institute of Northwestern University, Chicago, we offer a range of training programmes which can be adapted to suit the needs of various statutory agencies and community groups. These programmes include:
