Candidates are put through a rigorous application process just as if applying for a Ministerial Public Appointment so gaining a place on the programme is already an achievement.
The first session put delegates through their paces and the group did remarkably well. No details here, as the process is kept confidential to ensure each cohort gains equal opportunity and learning from the challenges placed upon them.
Congratulations to our eight excellent participants and a big thank you to the observers and course tutors who give their time, energy and expertise towards greater board diversity and to deliver more women and diverse candidates in public life.
