Ten years after the Campaign Insight program first began, we will be expanding the program even further to train more members across the state with more tailored one day and weekend long seminars.
In 2011, NSW Labor launched the new Campaign Insight Training Academy to help train grassroots activists and our next generation of Labor leaders.
Our Campaign Training modules focus on enhancing the skills of the following groups:
- Rank and file party members and grassroots activists, with a focus on Country Labor Members
- Future Candidates
- Members of Parliament
- Campaign Directors
- Councillors
- Electorate Officers and Political staff
- Elected officials in Branches and Electorate Councils
Creating a network of Leaders
This year, NSW Labor will launch the Campaign Insight Network to connect members who have completed our training programs and to help improve their skills as campaign techniques change and evolve.
Here's a list of our upcoming training seminars:
Branch Officials Training
Branch Officials Training took place on September 10, 2011. Check out the photos here.
