A leadership learning path for new supervisors, team leaders and coordinators in local government

The Ignite Program is designed to enable those who have limited experience in managing and leading people to develop the competencies to set them up for success in their role. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will receive the nationally recognised qualification Certificate IV in Leadership and Management.

Program Aim

As a new leader with limited experience managing and leading people, this program focuses on enabling you to develop the competencies required to be successful in your role.

While leaders are often technically competent, many have had limited opportunity to develop new, or extend the existing, critical skills needed for leading and managing people. The importance of developing these qualities for people in these roles is critical and cannot be underestimated.

Key Benefits

Improve critical interpersonal skills for engaging and leading people
Acquire key skills for managing the performance of teams
Develop skills to form strong cohesive teams, enhancing productivity, innovation and efficiency.

Accreditation
