The Centroc Regional Training Service provides coordinated training services to maximise opportunity and value in training for member Councils. Through Centroc, member councils are able to access timely, professional, and cost effective training for all of their staff. The Training Service sources course information and quotes and will coordinate training on behalf of member councils. Discounts from training providers are also negotiated by the Training Service and passed onto member councils. The service also promotes vacancies in training for council's in-house courses to help reduce council's training costs. The services are available to all Centroc members. Other councils, state agencies and private organisations are also able to use the services of centroc on a fee for service basis. A full range of courses are available including OHS Compliance, RTA Traffic Control, Heavy Vehicle and Plant Operator Training, Information Technology and Professional Skills Development.

Did you know that atmospheric CO2 was 364 parts per million (ppm) during the Earth Summit in June 1992? In the past decade, atmospheric CO2 has been rising about 1.9 ppm per year. This is the fastest rate since scientists started using high-precision instruments to take CO2 measurements directly from the Earth's atmosphere.
