The Australian Sport’s Commission’s (ASC) learning and development centre has reached 100,000 learners after commencing just over 12 months ago.
Deputy General Manager of Industry Capability at ASC, Kate Corkery said the Australian Learning Centre hosted sector wide e-learning content produced by the ASC to help volunteers and paid staff with their diverse roles and responsibilities.
“The platform has gone from strength to strength over the past 12 months,” Ms Corkery said.
“The Learning Centre is a key pillar of how the ASC is supporting the sector by making learning and education easier for those involved,” she said.
“This innovative approach and investment the ASC has made has led to recognition for the platform for how we centralise content in a convenient and cohesive online environment.”
Ms Corkery said that as more sports came on board, the ASC would continue to further engage the three million volunteers in Australia with modern and easy to access education, “which will allow them to continue to provide great experiences for people engaged in community sport.”
She said the Centre had already achieved global recognition, scooping up a bronze medal at the 2022 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Award in the Best Advance in Learning Technology Implementation category, and was also a finalist in the Best Capability Building Program category at the Australian Institute of Training and Development Excellence Awards.
The Deputy General Manager said some of the Centre’s most popular free resources included the Community Coaching Essentials Skills course, the Start Line Director Education course and the Community Officiating General Principles course.
