DurationYour Brilliant Career: Career Development For Women
Although women are now more visible in public leadership roles, there is no denying that they are still under-represented at the top levels. This highly practical programme addresses the issues, stereotypes, and challenges that women typically face in pursuing their careers and allows space and time for participants to reflect deeply with each other on what they really want.
Too often a career development plan is based on deficit – I want to be THERE, but I’m only HERE. Or perhaps we feel we SHOULD make a career move because people tell us that is what we ought to do.
This workshop harnesses a very different approach: by using an appreciative inquiry technique, we will start to explore what brings participants joy and energy in their working lives, what values, principles and preferences are particularly important to them in their working life, and what strengths and skills they already bring.
This positive yet rigorous approach enables participants to imagine a preferred future that they may not have allowed themselves to dream of until now, and then to consider the steps that need to be put into place to allow this to come about.
The course leader’s facilitative approach provides opportunities for personal reflection and mutual support.
At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisation, ensuring that each participant gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
About us
Civil Service College was founded in 2012 following the closure of the National School of Government in 2010. Civil Service College acquired many of the training programmes that were previously offered by the school and since then has increased the number of programmes on offer, ensuring that the available training reflects the current needs of those working in the Public Sector.
Civil Service College offers innovative training courses across subjects, from accountability and governance to leadership training, finance management, project management and personal development. All of our courses can be customised to fit your specific training needs.

Surpassing expectations
We actively listen to our clients to tailor training and go beyond requirements. We see learning as a journey and we support individuals and organisations in cultivating a continuous learning culture and maximise impact of learning. As a training organisation, we remain flexible and agile to meet their objectives.
Who are we?
Our organisation comprises of a core group of trainers from former Civil Service and Public Sector backgrounds and draws on a wider network of authoritative, experienced and skilled associates and contacts to deliver specialist training.
Our trainers have vast experience working at the centre of Government in the United Kingdom, as well as with political and administrative institutions in the European Union and internationally.
The Civil Service College team also works closely with Learning and Development Directors throughout the Public Sector to ensure that our offering fully reflects the ever changing needs of individual departments and organisations, as well as the wider Public Sector and Civil Service as a whole.
Our courses and trainers are continually appraised to ensure that we always provide training of the greatest quality, offering the most significant content to meet our delegates’ needs.
We pride ourselves on being incredibly flexible with regards to learning formats, offering tailoring of both open and in-house delivery so that each delegate leaves with a wealth of relevant knowledge.
We achieve this by asking each attendee to complete a pre-course questionnaire that helps us to tailor the programme to meet their specific expectations and individual requirements.
Our international work
It’s becoming increasingly common for Senior Civil Servants to attend culture trips to explore international government structures and systems. At Civil Service College we have extensive experience in putting together Specialist programmes for international delegations, from week long training programmes for senior delegations from Sri Lanka and India to morning workshops for delegates visiting from China.
We are able to work with our excellent contact base across numerous Public Sector organisations to help plan every aspect of the trip; from accommodation and sightseeing excursions to, of course, the training programme itself.
For international organisations that cannot send employees to the UK, the Civil Service College trainers have travelled to meet with teams all over the world, including Vietnam, Turks & Caicos, Tonga, Antigua and Kosovo, to deliver our internationally renowned training in-house.
Partnerships
Civil Service College have been privileged enough to work and create strong partnership alliances with other training experts such as Marylebone Associates, LeaderShape, The English Manner and the Mongolian National Academy of Governance, to ensure we provide the best and most relevant training across all sectors.
