Whether you are a volunteer or employed by a charity or voluntary organisation, there is a need to apply the skills, knowledge and behaviours that managers in other sectors do. Our colleagues in Executive Education at The Open University have recently added a suite of short courses to develop professional managers and leaders who need to refresh, update or develop new ways of working in these uncertain times.
Being a leader, developing your staff or other volunteers, managing budgets, coaching and communicating, developing strategy and taking people with you are some of the skills and behaviours the team has produced some affordable short courses about. Some are free! Their latest free course is intended for people who want to understand how the UK immigration system works. It is also an ideal way to prepare to undertake the regulated training required of OISC regulated advisers.
