Corporate Training Programs for APS and Workplace Teams

McMillan designs and delivers corporate training programs for APS, ACT Government and corporate workplaces that want practical, workplace-focused learning – not generic courses.

We help organisations build leadership, communication, writing, project management and people capability through tailored programs for teams, branches and whole departments, delivered face to face in Canberra or online across Australia.

How our corporate training programs are delivered

McMillan’s corporate training programs are delivered to workplace groups, not as generic public enrolments.

Delivery options include:

    • Face-to-face workshops – delivered in Canberra or at your workplace

    • Live online workshops – interactive sessions via Microsoft Teams for dispersed teams

Before delivery, we consult with you to understand your workforce, context and objectives so the training reflects your organisation’s environment and language.
