Training opportunities to support Ageing in Place at Garden Village
At Garden Village, we’re passionate about creating a welcoming home for residents and a strong, skilled workforce that supports the wellbeing and independence of older Australians. One of the ways we’re doing this is by investing in local people and providing real-world experience as part of their training in the aged care sector.
In August seven trainees commenced their Certificate III in Individual Support through CHS Training, a registered training organisation (RTO) with experience in delivering high-quality, hands-on education. From day one, they are immersed in the day-to-day care and connection that supports our residents to age in place and remain independent, comfortable and part of a vibrant community. A warm welcome to: Christine, Jasmyn, Chloe, Jackson, Janette, Kristy and Luya. Trainees are gaining essential experience at Garden Village, where they’re learning directly from our skilled caring teams supported by CHS Trainer Mel Cockshutt.
“At CHS Training, we believe learning should feel connected and meaningful. By being onsite at Garden Village, we get to know the staff, the residents, and the heart of the Garden Village community. I have loved meeting the Residents and have loved to see how they have embraced the opportunity to be part of the trainees’ learning experience. Every lesson has a real impact where it matters most — right here in your community.”
