The Training Calendar Offers a Clearinghouse of Community Events
|
In an effort to spread awareness about workshops, conferences and other training opportunities the Family Support Center of New Jersey has launched The Training Calendar. We invite professionals to post information on activities, lectures, trainings, or other events for caregivers and the people they are caring for on www.thetrainingcalendar.org. We also invite families and caregivers to view the trainings available in their area.
The concept is simple. Pick an available date and plan any type of event that focuses on either training for the caregiver, awareness, advocacy, support of anything you think that would assist caregivers in New Jersey. Through a partnership of the Family Support Center of New Jersey and your organization, we will work together to promote your event on our website, in our print publications as well as with the assistance of local and statewide sponsors. By participating you will have the opportunity to spread awareness of your upcoming activities and provide support for the individuals you work with and for others around the state.
Previously The Training Calendar had been administered by the Progressive Center for Independent Living. We applaud their foresight in developing this clearinghouse program. |
