GSBN is committed to helping to grow the capabilities of Greater Shepparton business and this month we launch an important initiative. GSBN has partnered with VCCI and Greater Shepparton Business Centre to initiate a comprehensive survey of your business training needs at both a management and employee level. I ask all members to please give us 5 minutes of your time to respond to our Greater Shepparton Business Training Needs survey. A link to the survey is included in this newsletter and we genuinely want to know your business views on all things training. It doesn’t matter where you are right now in your training needs, this is about gaining a snapshot into current and future business training needs. Your feedback will be integrated into development of strategies with all training providers to deliver better coordinated training resources.
