Agenda Communication has a long tradition of developing innovative workplace communication skills training and Professional Development resources. 

These have been linked to national Training Packages in the following industries:

• Building and Construction
• Business Services
• Corrective Services
• Light Manufacturing
• Local Government Planning
• Mining
• Security
• Transport and Warehousing

The Professional Development resources have focussed on improving non-literacy-specialist trainers' ability to deal with their trainees' literacy issues, and on submission writing skills.  The resources list below are the most recent of these.
