Portable | Capability uplift for public good
Portable is Australia’s innovation partner for public good, partnering with purpose‑driven organisations to build capability, confidence, and impact through expert‑led training in design, technology, and innovation. We believe that capability building is about equipping people and teams with practical, ethically grounded skills they can apply immediately to create better services, systems, and outcomes for the communities they serve.
Our training is designed by practitioners who work at the intersection of human‑centred design, innovative tech, and organisational leadership. Whether you’re exploring ethical design principles, learning how to work with generative AI, developing leadership capability, or unlocking co‑design practice, our workshops and courses blend theory with hands‑on practice, real‑world examples and tools you can use on your next project.
We deliver training that is practical, engaging, and immediately useful, with options that include:
Human‑centred design foundations
Conversations with AI: a foundations course
AI for leaders
Leadership development
Unlock your co‑design potential
Custom training tailored to your team’s context and challenges
Across all offerings, Portable’s approach is people‑first, ethically informed and impact focused, from inclusive dialogue and capability building to responsible use of emerging technologies like AI. We support leaders, teams, and communities to not just learn, but to apply new ways of working that strengthen public services, design better experiences, and deliver meaningful change.
