Leadership Academy Course

Description:

The Unloc Leadership Academy is an initiative to incubate passionate young leaders, to support their personal development and to channel their energy into tackling social issues faced by young people in their school, college or community. 

Participants will take part in a core leadership and social action training programme at the beginning of their time at the Academy before specialising in a social issue they would like to address. Academy participants will then deliver social action projects (usually peer-led presentations) focusing on one of these priorities.

By the end of the inspiring programme, participants will have…

  1. Functional knowledge around project planning, facilitation and communication.
  2. The personal confidence, skills and qualities for leadership and employability more broadly.
  3. Been provided with a creative outlet for school improvement ideas.
  4. Connected with external role models.

By the end of the programme, participants will have constructed…

  1. A plan for a school/college improvement idea.
  2. A presentation explaining their idea. 

Whether your students have leadership experience already, or are completely new to the concept of leadership, Unloc’s Leadership Academy will provide an empowering experience for all.

Testimonial:

We were looking for a dynamic and contemporary leadership programme for our Year 13 Prefects and Unloc more than delivered. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their excellent organisation, strong communication and willingness to adapt the course to the needs of our pupils was very impressive indeed. We will certainly be working with Unloc again.
