Overview


As the cooperative’s voice during times of both calm and crisis, the communicator plays a strategic role at the co-op and needs a voice within its leadership. The Certified Cooperative Communicator (CCC) program supports this critical role by providing co-op communicators with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively communicate and increase their visibility within the co-op and community.

The CCC program is a cohort-based blended learning program (a mixture of online and in-person instruction). In addition to receiving over 110 hours of instruction, CCC cohorts will build strong, long-lasting relationships that they will carry with them throughout their careers. Upon graduation, participants will have developed valuable work products, such as a strategic communication plan, crisis communication plan or marketing and branding guide they can implement immediately at their co-op.

Learning OBJECTIVES

  • Move from a task-oriented practitioner to a strategic thinker, planner and contributor.

  • Learn strategic communication skills to advocate for the co-op form of business and the advancement of the co-op network.

  • Develop a professional network of strategic communicators for the purpose of knowledge sharing, collaboration and crisis alliance.

  • Build a strategic plan that will be implementation-ready for your organization on completion of your course.
