ASPIRING board members across Worcester and Malvern are being sought as part of an innovative UK-wide scheme.
UK Boardroom Apprentice is a unique board learning, development and placement programme which enables those who would like to serve on a public or third sector board to learn and gain the experience they need to take that step.
It seeks to enable a wider diversity of individuals to play their part within boardrooms, allowing those without board experience to enhance their knowledge and understanding through in-depth learning and support
Applications for the programme are open until Monday, October 9 to people of all ages 18 years old and above and all backgrounds and abilities.
Boardroom Apprentice founder, Eileen Mullan said: “Successful applicants will have the opportunity to join a host board for a year to learn how they can bring fresh perspectives and diverse thinking to boardrooms across the UK.”
“I decided to create a programme that brings together three key elements – knowledge, experience and support.
“Over a twelve-month window, Boardroom Apprentices will get practical board experience, a suite of learning days and support to fully equip them to serve on a board in the public or third sector in the future.
“Being a Boardroom Apprentice is about preparing you for public service, which is about you playing your part.”
2023 UK Boardroom Apprentice, Becky Reid, who was placed with charity, Home-Start East said:“The programme have helped me understand that my view and what I know is just as important as everyone else.
“I did feel very proud of myself. It felt so good that I could contribute to a charity and that I’m making a difference to all the people that charity works with.”
