NICVA management prospectus 2005-06

The NICVA Management Development Programme prospectus for 2005-06.

This is now the third year of the Management Development Programme. Since October 2003 when the programme began, 337 managers and over 180 organisations have participated in courses offered at the three management levels.

Individuals and organisations are already experiencing the benefits of improved management skills, such as better supervision practices, improved strategic planning and more assertive staff.

The programme is helping all types and sizes of organisations to become more effective and efficient. This in turn will affect the sustainability of the sector, equipping it to work strategically and manage change in the future.

“The management development course has helped me effectively manage situations in the unit and adapt to change. My manager noticed an improvement in my supervision of staff and confidence”. Tracey-Anne Turner, Rethink (Completed NVQ level 3 2004-05)

The programme offers a variety of management courses at different levels:

First line
Supervisory
Senior management

This provides a wide range of opportunities for development and meets a variety of training needs. The programmes at each level offer both accredited and non accredited courses and they range in length from two days to two years.

NICVA is pleased to support 75% of the costs of each of the programmes for those who are successful in securing a place, which will make these development opportunities more affordable for all organisations in the sector.

“I got so much from this course probably because it was delivered in a straight forward, easily understood, no jargon way. I enjoyed and learnt so much from start to finish. It is good to feel confident about what you are doing” Kaeren Leitch, Barnardos (Completed First Line Management 2005)
