Leadership Training Summit

Leadership Training Summit (LTS)

LTS brings every AUJS student leader in Australasia together for 3 days of training and development. The Summit aims to up-skill student executives and volunteers and provide professional development opportunities that can be used in AUJS, and for later service to the Jewish community.

First run in 2017, LTS has precipitated huge growth in AUJS, through increased networks among AUJS leaders across regions.

LTS has significantly improved the base level of skills among AUJS executives, widespread commitment to the organisation, and a union wide understanding of effective and unified methods of combating antisemitism, allowing for student leaders to fight antisemitism with the best tools, knowledge and networks.
