Richmond has forged a new partnership with Community Training Initiatives (CTI) for the remainder of the 2015 season.

CTI becomes the Club’s official match ball partner, and the partnership will also be based on building strong business-to-business networks with Richmond’s corporate network.

Community Training Initiatives (CTI) are a network of Registered Training Organisations, professionals and tradespeople working across Australia to provide training solutions for people wanting to begin a new career or move up in their industry.

By owning over 16 training providers, CTI is able to offer nationally recognised courses ranging from Certificate I to Advanced Diploma, as well as a number of short courses and licensing programs, in a variety of industries, including Building and Construction, Fitness and Health, Business and Management and Manufacturing and Warehousing.

CTI understands that education and training are more than just products and work hard to provide their students with life-changing skills and opportunities. Through industry partnerships and on-site training opportunities, practical experience and expert training are all part of the CTI Difference.

“This is another exciting partnership opportunity for the Richmond Football Club, and we look forward to working closely with the team at Community Training Initiatives,” said Richmond CEO Brendon Gale.

“As well as enabling a strong presence on our match ball for the remainder of the season, we are determined to work with CTI to deliver strong business outcomes for both businesses.”

CTI and their partners can provide Richmond Football Club’s fans and partners with the training opportunities and support they need, to take the next life-changing step in their career.

“We’re excited to be working with the Richmond Football Club as match ball partner for the 2015 season,” said Community Training Initiatives CEO, Ivan Brown.

“Richmond is a club with a great history and currently on the rise. As a company, we have a passion for sports and see this partnership as the perfect opportunity to support a great club and the Australian sporting culture.”

CTI also has official sporting partnerships with A-League club Melbourne Victory and NBL club Melbourne United.
