Disability Liaison Unit student survey response
The Disability Liasion Unit would like to thank all students who responded to the 2011 annual survey. We are currently analysing the data received and will be providing a response later in 2012.
Leaders for tomorrow program
Applications are now open for the third intake of participants for the Leaders for Tomorrow Program, an individual leadership development program which has been funded by the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs to develop the leadership capacity of people with disability.
The program is targeted at people who aspire to be leaders or further develop their current leadership capacity. At the end of the funding period it is expected that there will be 200 people with disability who are more skilled, more confident and more active in leadership roles in business, community, government or their chosen area of interest.
Participants will have up to 12 months access to training, coaching, mentoring and other leadership development opportunities based on their individual needs. People with a broad range of skill levels and leadership interests are encouraged to apply. The program is committed to including a variety of participants reflecting the diversity of the Australian community. The Leaders for Tomorrow program will be delivered nationally by NSW Consumer Support and Training Project (Hunter TAFE) and E-QUAL (Enhancing Quality).
