- Work with community organizations, workers, and internal/external partners to assess training needs and implement training curriculum. This may include delivering training, and coordinating training opportunities for employees that work in emergency shelters, do street outreach, work in drop-in centres and provide case management
- Work with leaders and direct service workers to plan training, ensuring Knowledge Keepers/Elders are included in the input/development process
- Implement training that will motivate and increase employee skills to improve services for people at risk or experiencing homelessness
- Arrange/ensure training that supports service providers in understanding Indigenous homelessness and historical/current reasons for it
- Lead the Training Committee and participate in working groups to facilitate local training priorities and strategies
- Provide information and reports to management as well as updates to the Senior Director Housing Supports on community training issues, concerns and opportunities
