The Nia Programme - Career Development for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Staff - Workshop 2 (Virtual)
Session 2 of 3. Please note that staff will need to attend all 3 sessions.
“Every person, regardless of their ethnicity or background, should be able to fulfil their potential at work. That is the business case as well as the moral case." (McGregor-Smith, 2017)
Liverpool John Moores University is launching The Nia Programme - the University’s first ever career development programme for our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic staff. Adopting the Swahili name ‘Nia’ which translates to ‘purpose’, the programme which will be delivered by The King’s Fund, intends to enhance and consolidate our staff’s skills and strengths with a clear understanding of how these are transferrable and desirable in this current changing job economy; whilst simultaneously supporting staff to create an inspiring and motivating career vision and map allowing staff to bring their ‘whole self’ to work. Staff registered on the virtual three-day programme will also receive individual 1:1 personal coaching sessions.
By the end of this personal development programme staff will amongst other things:
- Understand the skills and qualities that aren’t taught in school – influence and the power of personal impact that make you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
- Learn why in-house ‘Brand You’ matters more than ever in accelerating and progressing your future career.
- Understand how to successfully access and leverage the hidden job market through intentional networking and contacts.
- Develop a clear understanding of the difference between career achievement and career success.
Moni Akinsanya, EDI Manager said: “This ‘Nia’ Programme will provide a supportive space to debate/discuss your unique experience as ethnically diverse staff, reflect on your current role and engage proper self-reflection on how you can make the most of your unique difference to achieve excellence in your chosen career path. I expect minority staff to be released to undertake this very important training.”
This workshop is for both academic and professional services staff.
Please note that you will have to sign up for all three workshop dates.
