The Continuing Professional Development
Programme (CPDP)
All of Mouth That Roars staff have experience
and background in youth work and in TV or video production.
However, on joining Mouth That Roars everyone has to complete
a training weekend in order to develop their individual and
team skills.
The training is carried out by Journeyman
Training & Project Management who provides training and
facilitation to groups of adults and young people. Much of
their work is done with community-based projects where they
mentor, supervise and support adults and young people as individuals
and as part of a group.
The aim of this training is ensure that MTR's
staff's work is of a high quality and also guarantees that
they are equipped to handle any situation that MTR's work
may require.
Aim
To facilitate and support the professional development of
