The skill and capability of the Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) workforce underpins all aspects of the SHS sector. A highly skilled workforce, including specialist skills, is more able to provide quality support and work with people at risk of or experiencing homelessness to achieve positive outcomes.
That’s why The Industry Partnership is passionate in developing and providing as many training and development opportunities as possible throughout the year.
Whether you’re a manager looking at what type of skills you need in your workforce or you’re a case worker looking to delve deeper into a subject your passionate about – our helpful resources can steer you into the right direction.
You need to be employed in a homelessness service funded by the NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) to participate in any of the courses featured in the SHS Learning and Development Framework and offered through the SHS Training Calendar.
