SCS Course Spotlight
Created in response to recent feedback, the SCS Course Spotlight has been set up to give senior civil servants easier access to courses specifically aimed at senior leaders.
The handful of courses being made available for open bookings allows senior civil servants to book themselves directly onto the course for them to attend individually. It also provides an opportunity for those in smaller departments who may not be able to organise a closed booking or anyone who is unable to attend an event planned by their department the opportunity to take the course too. A full list of the currently available courses and their dates can be found below.
The Spotlight line-up is refreshed every three to four months and features topics that we know are of particular interest to senior leaders in the Civil Service. These include strategic workforce planning, inspiring teams, communication, building trust and handling crises.
Typically, these are half or full day courses, all led by highly experienced, expert facilitators and designed to meet leaders’ pressing needs. These courses provide valuable opportunities to learn but also to network with fellow senior civil servants, sharing experiences and insights within a safe and confidential environment.

This workshop introduces people to the latest theories and trends around leadership.

Through a strength discovery exercise and self-reflection, this workshop will also equip you with the skills to proactively drive your leadership development to define clear commitments within an actionable personal, strengths-based development plan. In addition to conversation-based and practical learning, opportunities to network with and learn from peers is a key aspect of this programme.
