Training Junior/Early Career Staff
Our insight in training our Student Hubs staff team to design and deliver high quality programmes and thrive in the charity and volunteering sector means we can also support your staff to professionally develop in their roles. With our Worthwhile Training Programme, you can support staff in a six-month training programme to develop staff at entry-level (recent graduate) to junior manager level (around 2 years’ experience) staff.
On the new starter strain of the programme, they will have monthly training sessions and access to peer support, allowing them to engage with a cohort of peers from across the sector. Training topics include workplace skills, leadership, communications, and resilience and growth.
There is also a separate strain of the programme, which involves your organisation staff/team who are supporting your new starter. Training offered includes Unconscious Bias, Accessible Communications and Line Management Training, designed to support your own recruitment, induction and support processes as your new starter settles in.
We are currently looking for 5 organisations to sign up to our latest cohort, launching in January. Get in touch with Partnerships and Development Director, Fiona Walsh at fiona.walsh@studenthubs.org by the end of November.
Read more about our Worthwhile Programme. We also offer the opportunity for bespoke charity sector training such as recruiting and inducting staff effectively, and supporting staff wellbeing. For more information, please contact fiona.walsh@studenthubs.org.
