About the workshop

New strategic directions and ongoing change in government brings a greater need for more effective and efficient performance from professionals across all levels. This is never more true than for entry level public sector professionals, the foundation of excellence for government, but also the critical first step on the road to leadership.

This two-day workshop has been designed for entry level government professionals to advance essential skills and explore the capabilities to thrive today, and lead tomorrow. Across two hands-on, intensive days, you will delve into practical strategies to operate autonomously and exhibit greater awareness of agency goals, while learning to influence others, understand change management principles, and apply flexible thinking to problem solve and make effective decisions.

Register today for this unique professional development opportunity for high performing government professionals, enabling you to perform at your peak, and position yourself for advancement in the Public Sector.
