There’s a jam packed month ahead on the training calendar with opportunities for members to dive into topics like neurodiversity and the brilliant induction course for new members filling up quick.

Friday 31st January – Lunch and Learn - Creating a better understanding of neurodiversity – Online

Our ever-popular Lunch and Learn monthly online seminar will open the year with a session on neurodiversity. The session will be presented in cooperation with Neurodiversity Ireland. Senior Occupational Therapists and Clinical Practice Managers will dispel some of the myths around neurodiversity, as well as covering what neurodiversity is. The session will also cover how to make a more welcoming work environment for neurodiverse colleagues through neuro-affirmative approaches, and use of language. 

Registration is open now and will remain open until lunchtime Thursday 30th January.  

Thursday 6th February – Evaluating our learning and its application – Nerney’s Court, Dublin

There are still a small number of places left for this seminar for Branch Training officers. The seminar is on the theme of evaluating our learning and its application and will be of great help to branch training officers in carrying out their role.

Registration links were previously sent to all branch chairs, secretaries, and training officers.

Wednesday 12th February – Induction - Online

Fórsa’s induction sessions are a fantastic way for new members to learn more about the union. The session will take members through the structure of the union, explain how it operates, the benefits of being an active member and the role of the workplace representative. A not-to-miss for new members.

Tuesday 25th- Thursday 27th February - Workplace representatives training level 1 – Ice House, Sligo
