CPD program evaluation

In 2023, Monash University Business School researchers were engaged to conduct an evaluation of our CPD program. The research will be completed across two stages to investigate perceptions and attitudes regarding the CPD program:

  1. A focus group discussion with volunteer managers currently participating in the CPD program
  2. A survey of existing and past program participants

The findings of the focus group study will guide the scope and development of the second stage of the research. These are outlined in the full report, linked below.

The combined findings from both studies will provide a profound understanding of how to enhance the effectiveness of future CPD programs, and in turn, better equip volunteer managers to excel in their roles.
