  • Professional Development Programme Spring / Summer 2017
    Professional Development Programme Spring / Summer 2017 About our programme Our Professional Development Programme is a suite of networks run or supported by AoC West Midlands. Network meetings provide a forum for professional exchange in an informal setting. All meetings are free to attend for all staff at AoC West Midlands member colleges. They are an opportunity to hear relevant updates from external partners and from AoC, support the exchange of good practice, and act as a springboard for collaborative development projects between colleges. Wherever possible, each network is chaired by a practitioner from a member college and all members are encouraged to suggest agenda items and speakers they would like to hear from. Meetings are held at member colleges across the region, taking place from 10am to 1pm unless otherwise stated, and usually concluding with a networking lunch. We currently run or support 16 different networks in the region each year for our members. The network programme is complemented by other ‘one-off’ events which we run in response to specific topical issues or as a key element in the delivery of funded projects. 4 Curriculum and Quality College HE | Learning and Development | LLDD | Maths and English | Quality, Excellence and Innovation | Nominees | Sports | NAMSS (Student Services) 8 Business Development Business Development Managers 9 Leadership and Governance Principals’ Forum | Clerks | Governance Development Programme 10 Resources College Finance Directors’ Group | HR Managers | IT Managers | MIS Managers 12 Spring / Summer 2017 Dates 3 Curriculum and Quality College HE The network supports staff with management responsibility for the provision of higher education in colleges, although anyone from a member college with an interest in higher education is welcome to attend.
