ACFE Capacity Initiatives -

PD Workshops and Grants Program The Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board has approved a suite of initiatives designed to assist organisations funded by the Board to develop their capability to operate in a contestable environment. The Flexible Business Development project forms part of this suite. The objective of the Flexible Business Development Grants program is to help deliver goals in a changed training environment by

1. Assisting ACE providers to deliver internal processes and structures

2. Building the capacity of the sector to operate effectively

3. Support regional ACE providers to identify strategies to address the unique challenges associated with operating in non-metropolitan locations.

4. Support ‘new thinking’ or innovation in order to extend what might already be regarded as a successful business.
