Management Development Programmes 2020

About the Programmes

This pack is designed to provide Exec members and Senior Managers with an overview of the two programmes and guidance to help nominating Managers understand which of the programmes would be most suited for their team members. The programmes are made up of two main elements – training modules and work-based assignments. The training modules are designed to be highly participative with skills practice, syndicate exercises and discussion groups. They take place over a two or three day period and are usually held in central Scotland, either at our new office in Glasgow or the Training Centre in Kilmalid. Some of the modules will also be complemented by some pre or post course reading. Some of the modules require candidates to prepare and submit a written assignment, assessed against specified criteria. Other modules involve a reflective review of learning, usually carried out on the day. The programmes provide delegates with an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues from other business units; each programme generally consists of sixteen employees. Nominations for the programmes must be returned to the Learning and Development Team by Friday 8 th November 2019.
