S&A: Aspiring Leaders Programme

Welcome to the S&A Aspiring Leaders Programme, delivered in partnership with Mind-Gap. We’re delighted to have you join this exciting development journey designed to help you enhance your leadership knowledge, skills, and behaviours, and to become a more effective and confident leader within S & A.

Over the coming months, you’ll explore a wide range of leadership and self-development topics. The programme begins with a PPA personality assessment to help you understand your personality and leadership style and will then continue with 10 training days spread over 18 months – with a break during your peak season (May–September). Topics include Business Strategy, Team Management, Emotional Intelligence, Communication, Stress & Wellbeing and more.

This programme also includes an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management offering a nationally recognised qualification equivalent to a foundation degree. You’ll also develop and deliver an S&A business project, supported by our Mind-Gap facilitators, along with written assignments and a closing presentation to share your learning.

The programme will take place offsite enabling you to both fully focus on your learning and connect with others from S&A on the programme, via a range of opportunities for social connection and networking in evenings etc. All this will help you to strengthen ongoing relationships across S&A.

As you can tell, you’ll have access to this, our Mind-Gap’s Learning Management System, with videos, handouts, and additional guidance to support your learning.

We’re excited to accompany you on this leadership journey and look forward to seeing you at the induction day.
