New Senior People and Culture Professional Apprenticeship Launched

We are excited to announce the launch of the Level 7 Senior People and Culture Professional Apprenticeship. This programme is designed to equip experienced HR professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in senior HR leadership roles.

Developed with input from industry experts, this apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity for people and culture professionals to enhance their expertise while gaining valuable practical experience. It is ideal for those aspiring to senior leadership positions, as well as those already in such roles who want to refine their strategic approach to people management.

The Level 7 Senior People and Culture Professional Apprenticeship is a comprehensive, nationally recognised qualification that blends academic learning with on-the-job development. Over the course of the apprenticeship, learners will develop the skills required to navigate the complex and fast-evolving world of people and culture, focusing on key areas such as:

  • Strategic People Leadership: Develop the skills to design and implement people strategies that align with organisational objectives.
  • People Development and Performance: Learn how to enhance employee engagement, talent development, and performance management.
  • Employee Relations and Wellbeing: Gain expertise in managing employee relations, health, and wellbeing initiatives, while creating a culture of inclusivity and respect.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Master the art of using people data to inform business decisions, ensuring that people and culture initiatives contribute to measurable success.
  • Learning and Development: Understand the critical role L&D plays in organisational growth, with a focus on designing and delivering learning programmes that drive employee development and business results. 
  • Organisational Development: Gain insights into the theories and practices of OD, learning how to implement changes that improve organisational effectiveness, structure, and culture.

One of the unique aspects of this apprenticeship is the balance it strikes between theory and workplace application. Learners will explore advanced theoretical concepts that underpin people and culture management, such as leadership theory, change management, and organisational development. These concepts will then be translated into practical skills through real-world challenges in their current roles.

By bridging the gap between academic learning and workplace application, apprentices will gain not only a deep understanding of people and culture principles, but also the confidence to implement these principles effectively within their own organisations. This will ensure that the knowledge gained is both relevant, and directly applicable to the challenges faced in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business environments.

Upon successful completion of the End Point Assessment (EPA), apprentices will be awarded a CIPD Chartered Membership. This highly recognised accreditation is a mark of professional excellence and demonstrates a high level of competence in people and culture management, opening doors to senior leadership positions in the field.

The importance of theory in coaching: A lifelong journey, not just a skill

This question is understandable. Coaching is not just about acquiring a set of tools, it’s about developing a way of thinking, being, and relating to others. While practical application is essential, understanding the theoretical foundations of coaching is what sets truly transformational coaches apart.
