Personal Growth

My work is stimulating

The College run an investment in excellence programme which is a four day course developed based on the principles of cognitive psychology and in particular the power of positive thought and aspirational goal setting. Such was the success of the programmes that ten managers undertook a course that gives them the ability to deliver the course internally in order to roll it out to all staff in subsequent years. The sharing of best practice is strongly supported and encouraged, the College is aware that it needs to constantly refresh its approaches to sharing good practice and has continued its positive work in ensuring new ideas and teaching tools are shared within and across faculties.
