What is Digital Leadership and is it right for me?

Many people have experienced significant changes in their working environments over the last 18 months, as more people have stayed at home and worked remotely, relying on digital applications and technology to complete their day-to-day tasks.

You could be a manager who has made the switch from face-to-face management and you’re now leading a team remotely; experiencing the new challenges this brings. Or perhaps you’ve worked in a sector where using digital technology wasn’t part of your role and you want to make a positive step in developing new skills for your future career success.

These new and exciting Skills Bootcamps, part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs, are part of a free pilot scheme being rolled out across the nation in 2021, which is open to both employed and unemployed learners aged 19+*. The 12-week Skills Bootcamp will cover effective performance management, enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of how
to use digital technology to enhance customer and employee experience. Throughout this Skills Bootcamp you will build your confidence in applying
project management principles, through a work-based project designed to deepen your understanding, and allow you to practice your newly developed skills within a safe and supportive environment.

Start dates are week commencing:

• 6th September 2021
• 20th September 2021
• 4th October 2021
• 15th November 2021
• 29th November 2021
• 3rd January 2022

What Exactly Will I Learn?

Within your 12-week programme you will be expected to complete between 8-12 hours of learning each week, which will also include self-study time. This will be delivered in various ways from dedicated
workshops, one-to-one coaching sessions and project based learning. From weeks 1-8, you will begin your morning sessions online with your coach and fellow learners. This is anticipated to last three hours before a break. In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to complete your post-session activities. In weeks 9-12, the morning sessions will be shorter as you apply your learning to your business improvement
project. During this time, you will have access to your coach for support and guidance as needed. Learners must have access to their own IT equipment and to the internet, as all sessions will take place online.
