WILD new project at the AEU

Are you interested in participating in a program that will build your leadership skills and knowledge?   Do you see a future in educational or union leadership?

The Women in Leadership Development (WILD) program is  a trial funded by the Federal Government through the ACTU and will target AEU members in South Australia who hold a union position such as Workplace Representative, Sub-branch Secretary, Council delegate, Executive member, Women’s Contact Officer, School Services Contact officer, or an elected position on an AEU standing or consultative committee.

Program participants will undertake four days of training in Adelaide, with back-fill, travel, accommodation and course materials provided, along with some out-of-hours activities.

Participants will have the opportunity to be linked with mentors and network with other participants. The learning will be fun and informative, and most importantly, relevant to your personal leadership development goals.

There will be guest presenters from a range of business/industry/union backgrounds who will share their leadership journey.  Learn from other women who have embraced leadership and can provide you with ‘the good, the bad and the ugly' about leadership in the 21st Century.

Topics will include:

• Leadership and Change
• Strategic Planning 
• Power and Influence
• Wellbeing and Resilience
• Quality Improvement
• Conflict Resolution
• Leadership and Management
  

If you see yourself as a future leader and would like to register interest in this program, please contact Virginia Gill, Women in Leadership Development Project Officer at the AEU on vgill@aeusa.asn.au or phone 8272 1399

Please note: it is an expectation that participants attend and actively participate in all program activities.
