Senior managers at TWI Industrial Member companies are invited to apply to the Senior Leader Apprenticeship (SLA) programme, which is being offered by TWI in conjunction with the National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC).
Now accepting applications for the 2023/24 cohort, this apprenticeship programme propels lifelong learning ambitions and enhances high level management skills for senior leaders.
The deadline for applications for this opportunity is 30 June 2023, with the course due to start in October 2023 and be taught over 18 months.

The blended, work-based programme includes modules around financial decision-making, strategy, dynamic leadership and meeting the complex challenges that are reshaping the modern workplace.
The course is taught across five study days per module, with four modules to complete. The study days will be broken down into two blocks including face-to-face and online seminars, real-world projects and interactive classroom activities.

Upon completing the programme you will receive a Level 7 post-graduate diploma in Business Administration awarded by DMU, and a Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship.
