Applications for NZPI’s Emerging Leaders in Planning Programme for 2024 are now open.
Commencing on the 1st of August 2024, this is a twelve-month programme designed for a cohort of 20 motivated planners. This programme is different, as it is almost completely virtual. It is designed to be flexible for today’s time restraints.
Leadership in Planning has a different focus to that of general corporate leadership and it aspires to develop character and confidence within a lifelong framework. The Emerging Leaders in Planning Programme enables individuals to build a foundation for their careers that is relevant to themselves and the profession. Leadership in planning has never been more important in New Zealand and the world.
The programme will encourage delegates to discover their unique, personal identities as leaders and provide a framework for developing character and their career journey. This programme is important for the Institute as it strengthens the Planning profession through more effective leadership and engaged planners.
Learning Outcomes and takeaways of the Emerging Leaders in Planning Programme include the developed of personal awareness of the qualities and skills needed for leadership. Participants also gain an understanding of the daily activities and practices needed for development and take this opportunity for form connections with a wide network of planners across the country.
