Corporate Programs
Our Corporate Program is focused on providing Australian workplaces engaging, fun, and practical professional development solutions, aimed at developing and maintaining key transferable (soft) skills, pivotal to successfully navigating challenges of the modern work day. This includes such areas as creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, personal wellbeing, and digital literacy.
But a River Road Corporate Workshop is not your typical professional development or team building exercise - we use various art forms as a vehicle to explore and develop these valuable skills, including filmmaking, music making, lyrics, dance, movement, graphical design and photography.
