About this course

Gain an industry specific qualification which relates to your Community Development job

The United Nations defines community development as "a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems." The Diploma of Community Development reflects the role of community workers who manage the development and delivery of programs that build the capacity of communities to influence and guide their own future through public social change processes.

At this level, workers have specialised skills with complexity in the range and choices of actions required.

Workers generally have responsibility for the supervision of other workers and volunteers. This work may be undertaken through organisations working across a range of social, environment, health, economic, arts and culture, and recreation sectors.

Please note this course will run subject to enrolment numbers (minimum of 24 students).
