Promote your organisation’s success story by video: CCA has issued an open call to all Australian ACE (not for profit training) providers to promote a success story from your organisation at the Summit. We seek videos of maximum 90 seconds – best length is 45 to 60 seconds – that illustrate an ACE innovation or success story. Preferred stories will relate to foundation skills or aged care training delivery, ideally in conjunction with your aged care or foundation skills community partner/s. However, any strong innovation is welcome. CCA will upload all suitable videos to our YouTube channel and broadcast the best videos during the Summit. Two prizes will be awarded: to the most engaging foundation skills video, and to the most engaging aged care training video. Enter as many times as you like.
