Sponsorship cost £1000

The SSERC Leadership in Technical Support programme is a 110 hours professional learning (PL) programme completed over a full academic year. The programme provides leadership opportunities to support career progression and the development of leadership skills that can be
use within the centre.

Over the course of the programme participants will receive input across
several areas including leadership theory and practice, equality, diversity and inclusion and health, safety and wellbeing.

Participants will also complete an extended project on an area of
interest relevant to them and their centre and present their findings at a showcase event at the end of the programme.
The Leadership in Technical Support programme is open to all technicians in Scotland, but would be of particular benefit for those aspiring to a leadership role or those who wish to refresh their
leadership skills.

The course aims are to:

• develop a strategic and forward-thinking approach to facilitate, initiate and lead change for the technical support team within an educational organisation
• develop and apply knowledge and understanding of policies and procedures that can enhance the effectiveness of the technical service.
• extend the use of critical enquiry and reflection skills to evaluate and strengthen the impact of practices on self and others.
• enhance interpersonal and personal skills, confidence and resilience to strategically lead change.
• develop skills that support and empower colleagues for the benefit of all involved.
• develop support networks for own personal and professional development.
• share and exchange information about current trends and changes affecting the technical support service

This course is SCQF Creit and Levelled - SQCF Level 9 with 11 credit points.
