Description

Ipswich Borough Council ("IBC", "the Council" "our" or "we" or "us") is the local authority for the non-metropolitan district of England located in the South of Suffolk. Situated 66 miles North of London at the Junction between the A12 and A14 on the River Orwell and enjoys excellent rail links into London Liverpool Street Station.

IBC wish to partner with an organisation to deliver strategic, vocational based Management Development Programmes (MDP) using the Apprenticeship Levy Key facts you should know about the apprenticeship levy - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
We invite Tenders for the supply/provision of a suite of Management Development Programmes created and delivered to address skills gaps and drive strategic talent management. Talent and apprentices can be junior associates in the Council, graduates, school leavers or senior team members. They could be new joiners, or existing employees or entry level associates, each with different needs and learning styles.

The MDP is designed to be implemented over a longer period than a normal training course (up to 24 months) and aims to increase management capability and assist with the recruitment and retention of management and leadership talent. It will also enhance employee engagement, productivity, and service delivery.
IBC would expect a partnership with the successful tenderer to ensure that the strategy for the Levy funded MDP is fully integrated with our other Human Resources and Learning and Development functions.
