WAFC Signs Learning Seat to Help Educate Staff

The Western Australian Football Commission (WAFC), the governing body for Western Australia football, has joined six* of the Australian Football League’s (AFL) 16 clubs who today announced that they would be implementing an online education program for its staff.

Managed by Learning Seat, the online training and compliance management company, the courses are aimed to address a wide range of training requirements such as professional development, business compliance, business and management training and safety compliance.

Each of the programs designed for the AFL will be fully customised for the WAFC, with topics including Equal Employment Opportunities, Bullying Prevention, Privacy, Sexual Harassment Prevention; Ethics and Conduct and OHS courses as well as customised induction courses.

The chief executive officer of the WAFC, Wayne Bradshaw, highlighted the importance of offering education and development programs to its organisation. “Ongoing education and development for our employees is crucial in maintaining a strong corporate culture.

“We look forward to working with Learning Seat to develop an online training and induction program for our employees.”

Chief executive officer of Learning Seat, Michael Solomon, welcomed the partnership with the AFL.

“The AFL is one of the most influential sporting organisations in Australia and we are delighted to be working with so many of its teams.

“We are proud to be offering our training and compliance services to the WAFC – an organisation dedicated to educating its staff in the most time efficient, practical and cost-effective way.”

Earlier this year, Learning Seat signed a strategic alliance with leading Australian law firm Clayton Utz to develop and deliver Learning Seat's program of legal compliance management courses.

*The six clubs are: West Coast Eagles, Adelaide Football Club, Carlton Football Club, Richmond Football Club; Melbourne Football Club and North Melbourne Football Club.

The Collingwood Football Club announced its partnership with Learning Seat late last year.
