ResourcesIntroduction
Within your community training centre your role is valued whether you are a tutor (instructor), an administrator or hold any other supporting role. Ensuring the learners receive the highest standard of training requires the entire CTC team to work together.
Policies & Procedures
In addition to the general management support we ensure that where, due to any changes in legislation or best practice guidelines we provide up to date policies and procedures along with guidance on how policies should be implemented. The employee handbook is available to download or read within this area of this website. IACTO will continue to provide clear and consistent information to both management and staff of the centre.
Performance Management & Development
In accordance with the Sustaining Progress Agreement, the Community Training Centre network has established and implements the Performance Management System as agreed. This tool has been developed to support both staff and managers in agreeing objectives and discussing performance against those objectives. The quarterly meetings provide both staff and manager with the opportunity to discuss how things are progressing and what if any support may be required to ensure successful completion of the objectives. Training and support can be provided in relation to the system.
