Who benefits from these Leadership Apprenticeships?
EMPLOYEE benefits
- The people/emotional intelligence to thrive. Only 25% of long-term career success depends on tech knowledge. The rest is all soft skills (Stanford University). That's the focus of these apprenticeships.
- A powerful alumni network. Build a diverse network of creative collaborators from peers across multiple industries.
- World-class e-learning. Learn from credible, world-class learning providers you simply won't find on typical L&D or apprenticeship training programmes.
EMPLOYER benefits
- Retention. Retention. Retention. The No. 1 reason why employees leave is because they stop learning. This programme inspires, engages and retains them.
- Long term growth. 80% of CEOs see employees’ lack of soft skills as a ‘top 3’ barrier to growth (PWC). These programmes help to close that gap.
- Ideal succession planning.The organisation benefits from self-aware, commercially savvy people leaders with the confidence to handle ambiguity and spark the difficult conversations that make real change happen.
Learners will develop the 3 behaviours that future leaders need most.
The Future Talent Transformational Leadership Apprenticeship Programmes operate in line with the ACT leadership behaviour model.
AGILE THINKING
Agile leaders work in leaner and smarter ways to overcome organisational inertia. They quickly discover what works (and doesn’t) in order to continuously deliver exceptional new products and services.
COLLABORATION
Collaborative leaders embrace diversity. They make sure everyone feels they belong and understand where the business is heading. They make the whole far greater than the sum of its parts.
TRANSFORMATION
Organisations that don’t change don’t last. Organisations that don’t learn don’t change. Transformative leaders learn continually in order to shape change, not just respond to it.
