The Aspiring Leader programme is a structured initiative designed to develop the skills and knowledge of individuals who are seeking to advance into leadership roles or are currently in leadership roles but need to enhance their capabilities.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of leadership principles, key skills and stakeholder awareness.
This series of 3 virtual training sessions, which are each 3 hours in duration, look at the key steps that you need to consider in your development journey to be able to aspire to a leadership role.

Worker Voice
Your course will be delivered by an expert tutor who will guide you and your fellow workers on a three-stage journey during your course:
- Issues – how does this issue affect you and your colleagues?
- Ideas – what would make things better for you and your colleagues?
- Involvement – how can you and your colleagues get involve in making positive changes in your workplace, including through your trade union?
You will take part in activities that capture your voice and we will communicate the outcomes anonymously to UNISON local branches, self-organised groups and sectoral forums. This means voice on the subject is heard at the heart of your union’s democratic structures.
