Exclusive to GCU Students and developed in partnership with the Social Enterprise Academy (Scotland), the Student Leaders Programme is a series of free self-guided workshops on GCU Learn that you complete as your own pace and designed to help identify and develop your leaderskills skills.
After you have enrolled onto the Student Leaders Programme there are three parts to complete, takes less than four hours, and can be done online at your own pace! You need to complete part 1 before you can move onto part 2, then part 3.
The Skills 4.0 Framework says that Scotland’s workforce needs to constantly develop skills, knowledge and capabilities to thrive in this complex and ever-changing environment. We have designed the programme around the competencies or "meta-skills" that employers are seeking, so not only will you develop your leadership but you will boost your future employability.
It is open to any current GCU student, whether you study on the Glasgow or London Campus.
