Upskilling businesses

Ralph Rogers and Andrew Davidson

Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry has launched an Upskilling and Learning Program to help maximise Noosa businesses’ success. Four workshops are on offer from July to October.

Noosa Chamber president Ralph Rogers said, “Acting on valuable feedback from our members, Noosa Chamber of Commerce is committed to providing education and upskilling opportunities to local businesses.”

Three business management workshops will be run by Noosa local Alan Desselss, ex-President and CEO of Volvo Car in Australia and Japan. A Wellness seminar offered in October will be led by Michelle Bihary of Delta Consulting.

Chamber’s education subcommittee leader Andrew Davidson said Alan had a wealth of experience and knowledge, and there was no doubt, that all small business owners would get an immense amount of benefit from the sessions.

“At the end of each two-hour workshop, participants will walk away with useful business information and a workbook that will set them up for the success,” he said.

“In October we are fortunate to be able to bring Michelle Bihary to Noosa, who is an expert in assisting businesses build thriving and mentally healthy workplaces. Michelle will help participants explore practical strategies to manage stress, optimise mental health and wellbeing, and build workplace resilience.”

Mr Rogers said the Chamber was grateful to Bendigo Community Bank Tewantin-Noosa for sponsoring the three management workshops and were proud to have been awarded a $5000 Business Chamber Queensland Wellness Fund Grant for the October Wellness seminar, funded by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT).
