Boldness, innovation, embracing change and thinking and doing things differently are all essential to our success in achieving high performance for Derbyshire.

From 1 April 2024 we will be accepting applications to join the 2024 Leadership apprenticeship cohorts.

Leadership apprenticeships support personal aspirations and continuous professional development, delivering benefits that are far reaching. Successful participants:

  • develop core leadership competencies and enhanced leadership confidence and performance
  • achieve a leadership and management apprenticeship which, depending on level undertaken, could also include a qualification at HNC / HND, degree or post graduate level at no personal financial cost as the funding is covered by the Apprenticeship Levy
  • are supported in their academic progress with the benefit of a mentoring relationship throughout the duration of the programme (except level 3 apprentices who are not required to have a formalised mentor relationship)

Our programme of leadership and management apprenticeships is delivered in partnership with the University of Derby and Derbyshire Adult Community Education Services (DACES). To find out more why not attend a webinar.

These are open to potential applicants and their line managers. Use the following links to register:
