What recent participants say
"The Pathway Programme has helped me develop my communication skills. It has also given me the confidence to apply for different roles. It's not just about becoming a manager. The course had lots of useful guidance on self-development and generally useful content."
"I moved service area and changed job halfway through the Pathway Programme. I feel it helped my move. However, I think I've felt most of the benefit from the programme after starting my new role. Especially giving feedback and coaching conversations."
If you have any questions, please email Learning and Development.
Managers and supervisors, please share this with colleagues who do not have regular email access. You can also print the Pathway Programme flyer for your colleague noticeboards.
