New Member Recruitment: Education and Training Working Group

To any tPCA members interested in Education and Training:

The Education and Training Working Group would like to recruit a few new members.  We particularly want to increase the diversity of our group.

We are looking for people who have:

1. a passionate interest in PCA

1. 2 – 3 hours per month spare to attend monthly online meetings and engage in development work

1. an interest and experience with education and training in the counselling field

The working group currently has the following priorities:

Within the next 3 months:

•  Recruit a diverse group of new members
• Develop and start introducing a registration scheme for PC training courses
• Discuss and develop our ideas about what we expect from PC training courses, especially difference and diversity
• Develop connections with other working and special interest groups

Within the next year: 

• Carry out research to find out why so called Integrative courses are becoming more popular, often at the expense of the PCA
• Develop and pilot a recognition scheme for PC courses
• Survey what support trainees and tutors might want from us
• Investigate the feasibility of offering CPD

If you are interested, please contact Mike by email (mike.trier@the-pca.org.uk) or phone (0787 034 6661) saying why you’d like to join our working group, and what you have to offer.
