CCE Webinar Programme 2024/25

Following on from the June 2024 CCE Conference we have been working with workshop facilitators to develop an exciting range of webinars. The programme runs from October 2024 to June 2025 and will deliver a variety of sessions, each with different themes and subjects from a wide range of organisations.  You may notice as the full programme becomes available a difference in webinar charges, this is because CCE is pleased to work with a wide range of organisations and costs differ.

Chaplains who have already been on the course have said:

  • The CCE induction course has been informative and thought provoking. It has opened my eyes to the broad nature of chaplaincy and the multitude of skills and attributes required, as well as to the challenges and opportunities of the role.
