At I2S we’re often approached by project teams to provide professional development presentations and workshops to help infrastructure teams enhance their abilities to address social risk and gain social licence.
Now, after more than a year of research and planning, we’re pleased to announce the launch of the I2S Professional Development Training Suite. The course offering includes:
- Introduction to Infrastructure for Non-Technical Specialists – the perfect introduction for early and mid-career engagement specialists or for those new to the sector to understand how major projects are selected, designed and delivered and the role that engagement practitioners play throughout.
- Introduction to Social Impact Assessment – drawing on the world leading work of Professor Sara Bice and other leading practitioners from the International Association for Impact Assessment, this introductory course is designed for those who need to commission, contribute to, or use the findings from a Social Impact Assessment on their project.
- Social Risk identification and Management – drawing on the world-first work of I2S through its baseline study Precursors of Social Risk in the Infrastructure Sector this course will assist infrastructure specialists to better identify, assess and manage social risks and to better understand the factors that can help to build project acceptance in the infrastructure sector.
These 1 to 2 day (in-person) equivalent courses can be delivered intensively, at your premises or ours. Or take up our virtual option through a short series of 90-minute webinars.
The courses draw on more than five years of findings from the I2S Next Generation Engagement Research Program together with advice from leading industry experts.
We are currently taking expressions of interest in order to develop a course schedule. Register your interest in these Australian-first courses now!
