ARCS Grow Program

The ARCS Grow Program addresses the workforce shortage of Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) in the clinical research sector. It provides valuable and essential knowledge to working CRAs, delivering a highly focussed training program to new CRAs to maximise their growth over the first 12 months of employment. Training includes Good Clinical Practice, stakeholder engagement, conflict resolution and the skills that will enable these new entrants to succeed in this highly challenging but rewarding career.  

ARCS will also deliver a competency framework based on international and national programs, which will ensure the appropriate standards for CRAs are embedded in the Australian vocational training scheme.  

The first cohort of the program will start in July 2022. 

CRA Supervisor Train-the-Trainer Program

Supervisors of CRAs need to engage with and support trainees to learn the role of a CRA. They will need to understand how adults learn, how to create a positive learning environment, and be able to apply different techniques including coaching and mentoring to enhance the learning experience. Supervisors will learn to identify and overcome barriers to learning for the trainee CRAs.
