About the Clearinghouse

Community organisations often need to access a range of websites and/or spend a good deal of time searching for information on what training and resources are available and appropriate to them. The VCOSS Training and Development Clearinghouse is a centralised, user-friendly and community sector-specific service designed to take the legwork out of this. The Clearinghouse sits within the VCOSS Sector Development Team.

The Clearinghouse includes:

• A quality assured database of trainers recommended by community sector organisations for capacity building assistance
• Information and support for community organisations wanting to engage a skilled volunteer
• Access to free and subsidised capacity building training
• A calendar of low cost training, conferences, seminars and events
• A list of resources and quick guides for finding skilled volunteers, IT assistance, funding, second-hand office furniture, etc.
• A free monthly e-newsletter PIECES containing the latest information on training and development opportunities and resources for community organisations

All information provided on this website is backed up by friendly Clearinghouse staff who are available to provide information and referral over the phone and/or face-to-face.
