CREEDA Projects Pty Ltd and Strategic Economic Solutions Pty Ltd are looking for partners throughout Australia to market and conduct the Springboard Program on licence.

The program is proven and documented with:

•         Facilitator training

•         Facilitator manual

•         Participant Workbook

•         Participant reading materials

•         Basic marketing materials.

The program is an opportunity for business development organisations and suitable individuals to make money either by grafting it on to other activities they undertake or by simply focusing on the program alone.

Our business model is based on modest licence and materials charges, enabling partners to keep the bulk of the revenue from participants.

Our role is to help partners conduct the program and to train and accredit partners and facilitators.

We have a number of other similar products that partners may wish to deliver as well:

•         Planets Team building program.

•         Small Town Renewal Program

•         Leadership program, based on personal development.

Business Opportunity for Partners

The program has been designed to be of value to participants and so partners can generate revenue and profit. How much money partners make from the program depends on their own capabilities and management arrangements.

Participants generally pay $550 (GST inclusive). Partners are free to charge less than this amount, so long as the subsidy provided to participants is recognised and conveyed to participants. If partners wish to charge more, or integrate the program into other activities and charging regimes, then our approval is required. For instance, a partner may wish to charge a larger amount for the Springboard Program followed by formal mentoring or coaching.

Copies of the Springboard workbook are provided to partners at $165 (GST inclusive) each.  All that is payable to us is the licence fee ($1,100), annually renewable, one-off payment for training facilitators, and the workbook cost.

The profit be made by partners depends in part on what is outsourced or what is done in house. In our experience other costs that may be applicable, depending on partners’ individual circumstances, are:

Becoming a partner

We provide a range of materials and support for partners including:

• Background material on the program, including an Introduction to the Program and a PowerPoint presentation for use by partners
  
  
• Copies of program evaluations
  
  
• Partner and Facilitator training, manual and accreditation
  
  
  • A one day training program, with half a day for the partners and half a day for potential facilitators. Following the training we can help assess and select appropriate facilitators from the ‘pool’ who have been trained.
    
    
  • We endeavour to organise partner and facilitator training on a regional basis in locations where numbers of people can attend without undue cost. Where there are not many people in a region training will be organised in Canberra or people can attend training in other regions.
    
    
  • We accredit facilitators and provide each with a facilitator manual.
    
  • The cost of the partner and facilitator training session is $1,100 per facilitator to be accredited.
    
    
• 300 Brochures for the program. The cost of these is covered by the licence fee and additional copies can be purchased on request.
  
  
• Branded pens and magnets for use by participants and partners
  
  
• Application form templates
  
  
• Guidelines for selecting participants
  
  
• Participant workbook and reading materials
  
  
  • The workbook includes information on the program, space for participant note taking, stimulus materials, a summary action sheet and program evaluation form. The action sheet can then provide a basis for follow up coaching, mentoring or training provided or organised by the partner
    
    
  • Each participant will be required to purchase a workbook as part of their participation fee.
    
    
• Personal support for partners and facilitators
  
  
  • We will provide phone and email support to partners in relation to marketing of the program, selecting facilitators, selecting participants and forming groups, managing groups, program evaluation and other aspects of running successful programs. The cost of this is covered by partner establishment and annual renewal fees and participant licence fees.
    
    
• In the past we have used the program to secure government funding to conduct the program, thereby reducing what participants have to pay and or boosting revenue from the program. We can provide to our partners examples and templates for funding applications, on request and by special arrangement. The program may be suitable for Local Government funding, Small Business Enterprise Culture Program funding from AusIndustry and Regional Partnerships funding from the Department of Transport and Regional Services.  The program has been endorsed by the Minister for Small Business and Tourism as suitable for an application for funding under SBECP or Small Business Answers.
