2021 College Leadership Program officially launches

The College officially launched its inaugural Leadership Program in July, welcoming the 22 program participants with an induction session held over Zoom.

The program, which runs for 11 months and is delivered fully online, aims to develop participants’ leadership skills and knowledge with a series of interactive modules, workshops, presentations and mentoring. The program’s intention is also to build the capacity of paramedics and health sector managers to navigate adaptive environments they work in. Sessions will be held as interactive, small group and ‘hands-on’ modules.

Elements of the program include:

• a series of six online modules led by Harvard-trained facilitators
• small group workshops focusing on participants’ real-life challenges
• mentoring sessions focusing on career planning and professional development
• case study presentations delivered by current leaders in paramedicine
• access to live and recorded leadership webinars and leadership resources delivered by the Institute of Managers and Leaders
• information and guidance provided to participants’ line managers
• continuous improvement and enhancement surveys.

The program was created in direct response to member feedback in the College’s 2020 Strategic Direction Survey — a leadership skills program ranked highest among the programs members wanted to see developed.

Member feedback also informed the development of the program content, with modules being tailored to address the most common challenges identified by members currently working in leadership and management roles. These modules will cover adaptive leadership, collaborative team cultures, communication (including negotiation), resilience and wellbeing.

The College aims to run the program annually. Applications for the next program intake will open in early 2022. For more information or to register expressions of interest for the next intake, members are encouraged to visit the College website.
