APS Leadership Edge - March
APS Leadership Edge is a cohort-based social learning program which will enable EL 2's to develop their leadership and management skills through a range of learning sprints and activities.
Over the 10 months, the program will provide opportunities to embed learnings through practical application and expand professional networks across the APS through discussions in a large cohort and small group activities. All work is done virtually, and delivered flexibly to enable EL2s to participate regardless of where they are or what they do.
This learning experience has been provided by the APS Academy.
