SOUTH Eastern Regional College (SERC), in collaboration with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), has launched a new programme designed to help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
The new Bridging the Gap leadership and management programme has been launched to help tackle the well-documented leadership skills deficit in Northern Ireland.
It is focused on building management competencies and is designed for existing managers as well as staff new to management and those who will be taking on additional management responsibilities. It provides staff with the opportunity to gain a comprehensive, in-depth and practical understanding of key areas of management.
Participants on the course will complete a CMI level 5 leadership and management qualification and a work-based project. They will also have the opportunity to gain accredited CMI Chartered Manager Status.
The programme will have a strong focus on a range of business improvement techniques including leadership, innovation, creative thinking, management and communication and offers employers an alternative to costly and time-consuming recruitment campaigns.
