More options with training

DIVERSITAT Training is Geelong’s leading provider of specialist training programs.
Part of the Geelong community since 1997, the organisation offers innovative programs and nationally recognised courses to support and meet the needs of its learners, allowing transitions into further educational and employment options.
“We provide courses in Community Services, Aged Care and health, Children Services, English, and Disability Services,” says a Diversitat Training spokesperson.
“Cultural concerns and backgrounds play a large role in determining the design of all our programs. We implement programs that involve, welcome, comfort, value participation and provide non-threatening learning environments.
“Through this type of approach we aim to break down barriers which can face all local communities, such as isolation, disengagement or mental health and wellbeing issues. We hear so many stories of the struggles that people have been through and how Diversitat has given them a second chance, this makes us proud to be a part of Diversitat and the Geelong community.”
Diversitat was recently selected as one of three finalists for a Victorian Community Training Provider of the Year Award, sponsored by the Adult Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board. The Awards provide a benchmark of excellence that places Diversitat Training at the forefront in an increasingly competitive market.
Diversitat is more than just training organisation and has worked hard to provide innovative programs that benefit the diverse Geelong community.
As a result, Diversitat offers services in: settlement, immigration and welfare; youth services; aged support; training; and arts and events.
Diversitat also manages 94.7 The Pulse community radio station and Wholefoods Café as well as its associated shop and catering.
In 2015 Diversitat expanded its services through Diversability, a disability services program.
“We will continue to provide quality training and innovative opportunities through our large array of programs to ensure that we are always meeting the needs of the Geelong people,” the spokesperson says.
