Get on Board!
We’re delighted to be a Host Board for Boardroom Apprentice UK, providing a safe seat at the table for an aspiring Board Member to learn!
Boardroom Apprentice is a 12-month unique 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 before they take that step.
It 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.
Applications for the programme are open to people of all ages, from 16+, and all backgrounds and abilities.
Former Boardroom Apprentice, Sarah Fraser, says, “After returning to work after maternity leave during Covid-19, I wanted to be able to give something back to my local community but felt I lacked the confidence, skills (and years of experience!) to be able to serve on a public board. I knew I had a lot of valuable knowledge and experience but wasn’t sure how this fitted in with the structure of the public sector and their boards and thought I needed 20+ years’ experience to be able to serve.
“The boardroom apprentice program has not only demystified the public appointments process but has also helped me find my voice again and given me the skills and confidence to know that as a young working mother I can make a difference.”
You have until November 14th to apply! Come and see if we’re the right Board for you!
