Leadership and management opportunities for aspiring and experienced managers
The University offers a range of apprenticeship opportunities for new and existing colleagues to support career development, including our new leadership and management programme for aspiring and experienced managers.
This April, colleagues who are interested in developing management and leadership skills will be able to apply for the following courses:
- The University of Manchester and Corndel Level 3 Leadership and Management Diploma Leadership pathway
- The University of Manchester and Corndel Level 5 Leadership and Management Diploma Leadership pathway
All programmes are occupationally related, meaning that you will need to be in a role that provides sufficient scope to be able to apply your learning and demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours required. These apprenticeship programmes provide structured training over a period of 12-15 months and are nationally recognised and CMI accredited.
Helen Ashley, Director of Organisational Development said, ‘ We understand the importance of theory and research underpinning our professional practice. We offer apprenticeships at the University to support career development because we know they create opportunities to consider practice improvements in the light of research theory and evidence-based insights.
Our apprenticeship offering creates an approach to on-the-job learning which generates lasting improvements in performance that are closely aligned to our values of knowledge, wisdom and humanity. In an organisation dedicated to lifelong learning, we believe that apprenticeships are the great way to support and develop our people.'
When do they start?
The leadership and management programmes begin in June 2024 and will be delivered by one of our preferred training providers - Corndel. All programmes are fully funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, meaning there is no cost to you and form an important part of our evolving leadership and management development offering.
Please note there are limited spaces available. however, If you are not able to sign up this year, there will be more programmes running throughout 2024 and 2025.
