A range of officer development opportunities.
In light of the COVID19 crisis, The LGA is also currently working with Solace to offer executive coaching to chief executives and nominated senior officers.
The next generation of local government will be leading through unprecedented times and councils have a vital role play in building civil society:
- making tough decisions
- devolving power to local people
- promoting fairness and tackling inequality.
As the role of councils is rapidly changing, so to is that of our officers, managers and chief executives. To support the leadership capacity of these professionals now and in the future our offer focuses particularly on ensuring:
- the brightest and best graduates are encouraged and supported into the sector
- those leading our local authorities are offered superb class, joint political and managerial development opportunities; stretching their knowledge and capability to effectively lead across place, together.
