Twelve new business members of the Noosa community participated in a ‘Welcome to Noosa’ professional development group training program at Tourism Noosa On Thursday 2 May.
A range of new business managers and owners participated in the program, including staff from; Beyond Noosa Tours, Brown and Cō Realty, Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas, Munna Beach Apartments, Stay Noosa Real Estate, Amrita Park Meadery and Noosa Wave Boating Adventures.
‘Welcome to Noosa’ is an online training program that provides basic information on Noosa – why the region is so special, its history, key things to do in Noosa and information on the Noosa Biosphere, as well as providing great customer service strategies and information on workplace health and safety.
With over 2000 people completing the course to date, more businesses are getting behind the program and it can provide an advantage when looking for employment. On completion of the course, participants receive a certificate and a ‘Welcome to Noosa’ badge.
Russell Birrel of Hirum Software Solutions previously completed the program and said, “As a local of this region for over 15 years, I was very impressed by the value delivered through the ‘Welcome to Noosa’ program.”
“The programme will undoubtedly assist local tourism operators and other businesses deliver greater experiences for their customers.”
The group training sessions are a great way to complete the course with others in a fun environment with sessions running for 90 minutes and costing $10 per person.
