Overview

For the eighth successive year we are delighted to announce the annual Wales Public Service Winter School.

Building on its success since 2011, we have specifically designed the programme to meet the key development needs of Wales' most senior leaders, and those working in the top three tiers of Welsh public service and voluntary organisations.

The event will focus on ‘The Leadership Challenge - from efficient to exemplary’.

Benefits to you

This unique ‘stretch’ programme is an opportunity to review and refresh your current skills and gain insight into cutting edge leadership practices. You will explore innovative ways to ‘deliver the business’, using a wealth of global knowledge and experience.

This residential immersive learning event takes place at Nant Gwrtheyrn, the Welsh language centre in North Wales.
