Team Training and Development

BBS training and development courses focus on challenging each participant’s skill level and building confidence – with practical tools and tips to instantly put into action.

Beyond the leadership group, the communications competence of the broader team is critical for organisations seeking to enhance their reputation, manage stakeholder relationships or maintain a competitive advantage.

BBS offers a range of practical, engaging and interactive communication training and development courses. Our training experts work with clients to tailor courses to suit individual needs, focusing on practical skills that can be applied in the workplace from day one.

We train hundreds of people across Australia each year in media, professional writing, crisis management, business development and more.

BBS trainers are a mix of communications experts, professional facilitators and former journalists. We practise what we teach every day, meaning our courses are practical and memorable – based on real experience.

What our clients say

BBS always goes that extra mile for our business and projects

BBS has been a trusted advisor and friend for many years – currently providing strategic advice, media relations and communications for our signature project, Hamilton Grove.

BBS always goes that extra mile to ensure that our business and projects are represented in the best possible way, making them an integral part of our team.

Wouldn’t have been able to do it with BBS

BBS initially came on board with us during COVID, to help us navigate the communications needs of our residential aged care, retirement villages and home care across three states and various LGAs all with huge volumes of stakeholders, families, residents, internal staff and external clients. They really walked alongside us and helped create templates and processes for us to communicate at the volume and pace we needed to.

We’ve now taken what we did during that time as benchmark and incorporated it into our BAU and we wouldn’t have been able to do that without BBS.

Proactive, strategic and ensuring business growth

The team at BBS is truly an extension of our Marketing team at G.J. Gardner Homes. As a small team with a large portfolio, we need partners who genuinely understand our brand, business, and vision. The team at BBS does just that. They don’t just deliver exceptional results, their approach is proactive, strategic and ensures the growth of our business into the future.

The seamless communication makes the team a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend BBS to any business looking for a true partner and an agency that delivers on its promises.

Professional, responsive and highly valuable

BBS was a core part of the successful project team for the Coomera Connector Stage 1 South Early Works. Their approach to communications and stakeholder engagement helped us build trust early, quickly and maintain it throughout. We were able to carry out high-impact construction activities without disruption or delay. The early works package was delivered months ahead of schedule and with the full support of nearby residents and businesses.

BBS’ contribution was professional, responsive and highly valuable. We would confidently recommend BBS and intend to work together again in the future.

Trusted advisors and a reliable in-house resource

The BBS team has been instrumental and closely involved in the development and continued roll-out of Queensland Hydro’s Community Benefits Framework.

BBS has been both trusted advisors and a reliable in-house resource for quality stakeholder and community engagement, driving key social performance initiatives, and working closely with us to grow Queensland Hydro’s social license.

Highly proactive team with leading ideas and insights

I have worked with BBS for more than seven years and the team has always demonstrated professional integrity, best practice, high achievement, and client care. Having been by our side through several critical business deals, BBS has earned a seat at the table supporting our projects on the ground through to advising our executive team.

I know that I can pick up the phone at any time and be supported by a highly proactive team with industry-leading ideas and business-critical insights.

Intern at BBS

BBS operates a University Internship Program which offers placements in line with the university semesters, plus holiday period intakes, generally June/July and December/January/ February.

We accommodate trimester students and our program is open to applicants who are pursuing an internship of their own accord outside of the standard university semester calendar.

As a BBS intern you can expect to work alongside experienced professionals on real client projects, an environment which provides an accurate picture of what life as a communications consultant is like. 

BBS interns are always considered first for our graduate roles and many of our former interns have gone on to senior roles within our firm.

Working in a consultancy is diverse, fast-paced. It’s often said that “you’ll learn more in your first year in consultancy than in your first 3 – 5 years in another role”.

To apply for a BBS Internship, please email the Intern Program Coordinators with the following:
