It is our aim that everyone in the NCIs is supported to develop and flourish, and we are committed to your development within a learning organisation.
NCI Induction and Welcome
Learning is at the basis of all we do. We run an interactive welcome day to connect with the history of how the NCIs came to be, the purpose and strategy (Our Story) and to orient new joiners with their new roles and colleagues (Your Story). This is followed by induction learning sessions and ongoing mandatory training to underpin how we work together and what we deliver.
"This one was by far the most interactive and fun packed [induction day], it is hard to know what to expect from the day however all activities were interactive and definitely ice-breaking, the treasure hunt did it for me, it made my day."
Professional Learning, Apprenticeships, and Career Development Bursaries
We support colleagues to gain both the skills they need to do their professional roles as well as developing their careers. We gather groups of learners from across the organisation to undertake apprenticeships in leadership and management, coaching, and business administration, and encourage people to seek out other courses which support their individual development.
"Doing the coaching apprenticeship is an amazing opportunity to learn something new, develop my skills and enhance my career options – I feel privileged to get to do this."
Confident Career, Confident Manager, and Confident Leadership programmes
These core NCI programmes build competence and confidence at critical career transition points - developing knowledge, skills and networks.
"I liked the way we learnt together and supported each other's learning. This was in the DNA of the content - and the rapport built… It really was fantastic training - with action points to take away and try after each session."
Professional Development
Learning weeks and department roadshows offer developmental workshops. Themes to date have included wellbeing, personal productivity, strengths, giving and receiving feedback and finding your voice.
"I liked the chance to think differently about tasks and workload. Fantastic, inspiring workshop. Wonderful delivery by a very engaging trainer. Thank you!"
