A UK-wide board learning, development and placement programme which enables those who would like to serve on a public or third sector board to learn and gain experience has announced two virtual information sessions for those interested in applying to become UK Boardroom Apprentices for the 2024 Programme.
The sessions will be hosted on Wednesday, September 6 at 15:00 and Wednesday, September 13 at 19:00 and will give those interested in applying a chance to find out more about the process to apply.
Since its inception in 2017, the programme has seen 372 Boardroom Apprentices embark on their personal journey to serve on a public or third sector board.
Boardroom Apprentice founder Eileen Mullan said: “Boardroom Apprentice was created to deliver diversity, create change, and realise aspirations.
“Our vision is simple – to bridge the gap between aspiration and reality. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to be placed with a host board for a year to learn how they can bring fresh perspectives and diverse thinking to boardrooms across the UK.”
Open to those aged 18 or over from all backgrounds and all abilities, the programme seeks to enable a wider diversity of individuals to play their part within boardrooms, allowing those without board experience to enhance their knowledge and understanding through in-depth learning and support.
Upon being placed with a host board, Boardroom Apprentices are assigned a Board Buddy who supports them over the twelve-month experience, as well as being provided with a suite of learning days.
During the free information events, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from former UK Boardroom Apprentices about their experience of the programme.
Attendees are urged to only sign up for one event as they will cover the same information.
The UK Boardroom Apprentice programme is set to return as applications for next year’s programme open on Monday 4th September 2023.
Tickets for the free information event are available on Eventbrite. For more information on the UK Boardroom Apprentice go to boardroomapprentice.com/uk.
