This session is one of four in the series “Beyond Business as Usual: Productivity Strategies for RTOs.”

The series is for members of our professional learning communities: RPL Matters and Education Matters. Members can attend at no cost to register.

We acknowledge that many RTOs may have staff who would like to attend, and in this instance, the series is open for registrations as "pay-to-attend" - for people who are not members of RPL Matters or Education Matters

It will appeal to RTO leaders, managers, and educators looking to drive growth and productivity in their organisations.

Join to hear stories and strategies from others for simple changes that make a real difference (and can help your RTO to thrive under pressure!)
