Get On Board Course Now Recruiting
9 Jan 2007
“Ever thought of being apart of the decision making process and make a difference?”
“Get On Board” is a short course which has been designed specifically for people interested in serving on the Boards of public bodies in Northern Ireland. The main focus of this programme is to make the public appointments process more accessible to everyone in Northern Ireland. The course is aimed at individuals who are interested in or currently holding public appointments and those wishing to go forward for voluntary or community Boards/Committees.
The course is delivered by the Belfast Institute and will provide participants with a clear understanding of what it takes to be successful both during the appointments process and while serving on a Board. Course content will include the role and responsibilities of public bodies, the appointment process, how to run and manage effective Board meetings, financial management responsibility and how to make decisions at board level. Course participants will be expected to commit 30 hours to the programme, which is accredited through the Northern Ireland Open College Network at Level 2. The Belfast Institute is currently recruiting for courses to begin in February 2007. Programmes will be run in Belfast and Cookstown. If you would like further information, or register an interest in the programme, please contact; Eileen Mullan, 02890265471 or email emullan@belfastinstitute.ac.uk
