OUR  TRAINING  HISTORY

The ALPA Board has always believed in the importance of education and training using a community development focus.

Training has been a cornerstone of ALPA since then, our goal to share the work and skills with Yolŋu staff to develop them into supervisor and management roles.

In 2011 ALPA registered the business name Australian Retail Training to offer our training services and expertise to retail stores outside the group.
