Training Opportunities in 2012
Expression of Interest Form
AHEAD designs and delivers customized training on inclusive education and employment practices. For example, Including Students with Dyslexia in Nursing. Training is highly interactive, involving a range of activities that encourage participant interaction and discussion.

Managers need to ensure that they have the personal resources to enable them to support colleagues and keep teams engaged in these challenging times.
