Why is it important?

The program is a key outcome of the Human Capital Development Network Strategy Project.  The project addresses a key concern raised by different leadership bodies: the professional development of our staff. Implementing our Network strategy will require a new mindset, and leaders and key managers who are ready and prepared to lead their organizations towards greater impact. One of our main goals is to our managers with some core managerial skills in order for them to bring them to use these in their AFS organizations.

“The training provided a lot of new and relevant content that is important for AFS work. The fact that it was done in smaller cohorts of dedicated people and in an interactive format made it even easier to stay engaged and improve my skills.”
“The training exceeded my expectations. I initially thought it was going to be more theory-based, but it ended up having the format of a “toolbox” with lots of hands-on practice and a focus on essential abilities/lessons on how to manage.”
