Salvation
Army National Disaster Training Program
InterWorks managed the design, development and production
of eight courses for The Salvation Army’s National
Disaster Training Programme (NDTP). This project began
in June 2002 when SA received a three-year grant from
Lilly Endowment, Inc. for the development and initial
implementation of a U.S. training program. InterWorks
was contracted during the first phase of the project to
develop and produce materials for nine of the program
courses.
InterWorks managed the development and production of the
course modules from the research and material gathered
in focus groups to the final publication of training materials
packages. Each course package consisted of a participant
guide, an instructor guide, a PowerPoint presentation
set and an accompanying video.
The goal of the training program was to develop and implement
a standardized training program to ensure that all Salvation
Army disaster responders, including officers, staff and
local volunteers, have access to quality educational training
and tools. The training was aimed at developing disaster
responders’ skills and knowledge, better preparing
and equipping them to respond to disasters in a prompt,
efficient and effective manner.
