A program for adaptive and impactful leaders.

The SES Band 1 Leadership Development program strengthens the leadership capability of experienced senior executives across the broader APS, to effectively deliver on their key accountabilities. Band 1 executives play a critical role in setting the strategic direction of their group, building a positive and high-performing workplace culture, and making significant decisions on individual policies and courses for which they are directly accountable to government. There is also a project component in this program which will actively support the integration of APS reform objectives.

Participants will be supported by a Program Sponsor – a highly regarded senior APS executive to enrich and enhance learning and capability development throughout the program.

Face-to-screen considerations

  • Delivery with online sessions uses a virtual classroom tool - MS Teams. Agencies have access to different virtual classroom tools. 
  • Prior to enrolling on a course, it is suggested that you check if your agency’s network has any restrictions using any virtual classroom platform. 
  • If you are unable to access the virtual classroom platform on your work device or network, we recommend you use a personal device such as a laptop or computer with a strong network to support you at home or other offsite location.
  • Please ensure you have access to a working camera and microphone to participate.
  • For more information, please refer to our APSLearn terms and conditions.
