Capital Training Institute has shown that they will ‘Stand Above the Rest’ with Rabbitohs Members, signing on this week as the Rabbitohs’ official Membership partner for the 2013 season. Capital Training Institute is one of Australia’s fastest emerging Registered Training Organisations specialising in a wide range of vocational education and training. Established in Canberra in 2007, the Capital Training Institute now has training centres in Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane, with the Sydney office set up in nearby St Peters. Capital Training Institute CEO, Matt Sutherland, says he is excited about getting behind the Rabbitohs, alongside the targeted 25,000 Members this year. “When the opportunity came up to partner with the Rabbitohs and their passionate Membership base, we knew this was something we could not pass up,” Mr Sutherland said. “We have recently established a very close link with one of Australia’s leading Super XV Rugby franchises as their training sponsor, and we see similar cultural fits around what Michael Maguire is trying to achieve with the Rabbitohs as to what they are implementing at their organisation, and to what we are trying to achieve at Capital Training Institute. “We specialise in training qualifications in Construction, Project Management, and Occupational Health and Safety, and with 20% of Rabbitohs Members working in the Construction industry, it was a great fit for us. “We know the Rabbitohs have the strongest Membership base in the NRL in New South Wales, and we know they are the most passionate Members of any team in the NRL. “We’re very keen to be involved with the work of Souths Cares, particularly in the Schools to Work Transition program, and we are excited to get to know the Rabbitohs’ Members and stand alongside them as we all cheer on the team to higher honours in 2013.” Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson says the synergies between the Rabbitohs, the growing Membership base, and Capital Training Institute are a perfect fit. “Out of all NRL Clubs we know our Members best, and we know that our Members work hard at their jobs and even harder in supporting their team,” Mr Richardson said. “That’s why this is such a great fit with Capital Training Institute. “They have worked very hard to become one of the country’s fastest growing training organisations and can help our Members, supporters and players in furthering their qualifications and building better and longer careers in their chosen field, as well as providing opportunities for those working within Souths Cares’ employment and training programs. “We’re delighted to have Capital Training Institute on board for 2013.” To celebrate the new partnership with Capital Training Institute, Rabbitohs Members are offered a 10% discount off all 2013 courses on offer through Capital Training Institute, helping Members fast track their career.
