Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 and Leadership and Management Level 5 Apprenticeship Webinar
Finished
This session is an opportunity for you to ask questions and to find out more about the development opportunities that Cambridge is offering you – for both the Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 and the Leadership and Management Level 5. We are looking to explore what interest there is at this current time in both apprenticeships and hope that there will be sufficient interest to establish University-wide cohorts. By establishing University-wide cohorts, we are looking to encourage more departments to use apprenticeships as a way to provide focused professional development for staff. Participants will have the advantage of a peer group to work through the programme with Cambridge University Press and Assessment who are potentially interested in joining in with this. Thanu Mahendra of Corndel, our approved training provider for these programmes will present and be available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have before submitting an expression of interest. Programme details of each apprenticeship can be found via the links below: Team Leader or Supervisor Level 3 Leadership and Management Level 5 (Operations or Departmental Manager) There is a minimum of 18-20 people required for each programme, for a cohort to run. Depending on the level of interest shown, it is intended that these apprenticeship cohorts will start in September 2024. However you will also have the opportunity to join an open (public) cohort if we are unable to reach sufficient numbers for a closed cohort. Entry to these cohorts will be by application and is open to all University employees who meet the eligibility criteria. A link to the session will be sent with the joining instructions when your booking is confirmed. |

The programme gives you the time to reflect, share and most importantly, set achievable personal and professional goals for now and the future. Key areas covered include communication skills, assertiveness, self confidence, improving your work/life balance and developing positive skills and attitude.
