Engaging and Empowering Education and Training for the Co-operative Sector.
Few things are more important to the success of a co-op than
the support of its stakeholders who believe in its purpose & principles.
Build a stronger, more resilient co-operative by empowering your members, staff, and directors with the knowledge and tools to actively engage in your co-op. Promote a culture of trust and collaboration by showcasing the benefits of being part of the co-operative movement.
Our award-winning presenters will educate, engage and inspire through our interactive ON Board program, helping your co-op foster a new generation of co-op champions!

TESTIMONIALS
Across all staff and the board ongoing education is a priority with a continued focus on both the technical (i.e. insurance and financial services knowledge) and the co-operative so that we all work together jointly to ensure we achieve our goals and maintain our co-operative identity. We recognize that we’ll never be able to check a box for ‘complete’ when it comes to our co-operative identity and co-operative education; this focus is ongoing and evolving as our organization changes and grows.

Here's what participants are saying:
"I am now telling everyone that FC Barcelona is a coop... Love that they shared personal experience. Very useful presentation."
"Great work on this. It was so motivating to be a part of and I learned things that surprised me."
"I think the way you structured the material was fantastic and I left feeling so excited to be working in the sector."
“When we onboard new staff we think it’s important for them to learn more about credit unions and our system partners who support us in providing products & services to our Owners. A big part of that is educating new staff on the co-operative principles and how these co-operative principles set credit unions apart from other financial institutions."
- Jordan Moat, Regional Manager, Libro Credit Union
