PRAXIS PROgresss Program
An immersive career accelerator program
With new technologies, sector reforms and a well-documented skill shortage across Australia, strengthening your workforce capacity through accelerated development has never been more important. Sector authorities also agree that it’s essential to enable pathways to clinical trial careers through education and training to solve the crucial skill gaps in Australia’s clinical trial workforce.
You can now harness the most complete learning experience to strengthen the capacity of your team.
Using proven goal achievement, communities of practice, and mentoring and capability frameworks, the PROgress Program harnesses a unique training model to accelerate the development of your research team, boosting workforce capability and site capacity.
What makes this program unique?
New and early career clinical trial coordinators (CTCs) have varied backgrounds and levels of experience. PROgress addresses the critical skill gaps unique to each professional by providing them with expert training and education, under a flexible learning model.
PROgress supports early career CTCs, including those who are not working in the sector yet, strengthening the development of key competencies by allowing them to implement what they have learned directly into the workplace setting.
PROgress is aimed at building and enhancing the skills of those on the front line of clinical trial activity in Australia.
Embracing and building on emerging learning trends, this program enables you and your team to harness a blended learning environment that creates a truly integrated classroom. This ensures the needs of any learner type is met, challenges are overcome, and information is retained.
