Executive level positions bring new and demanding leadership and management challenges. This program describes the broad role requirements of EL 1's through the APS Work Level Standards (WLS) and deepens your understanding of the capabilities and behaviours identified in the APS Integrated Leadership System (ILS) critical to high performance at the EL 1 level. Learn how to confidently and appropriately respond to the challenge of higher expectations and more complex responsibilities.

This learning experience has been provided by a third party in consultation with the APS Academy.

Participant benefits

  • A detailed understanding of what it takes to be an EL 1 in the APS, including the required “step-ups” from APS 6.
  • Familiarity with the WLS and how they help differentiate work expectations at APS 6 and EL 1 levels.
  • A strong knowledge of the ILS and its use in career development, performance management and understanding behavioural expectations.
  • An action plan to address some of the issues raised and to develop greater understanding and capability to undertake the EL 1 role.

Suitable for

APS 6 - EL 1

Category and User Level

This learning experience aligns with APS People Craft at the Practitioner level.

Considerations

There is a pre-work component that is required to be completed prior to the commencement of the program.

Price

$1225 per attendee. Payment by credit card.
