Federation University based in Ballarat ( Victoria ) are this month launching a fabulous Graduate Diploma of Local Government Leadership and Management
This is a new, flexible course covering topics as diverse as leadership, governance, project management, planning, economic development and sustainability within the local government sector. I understand that the last academic program for local government leadership concluded in 1982, so, it is time!
The course features units like “Introduction to Local Government and Governance,” “Local Government Leadership,” and “Project Management in Local Government,” all designed by well recognised and experienced industry leaders.
Here are just a few unit outlines :
• Introduction to Local Government and Governance - Introduces the functions, purposes, and laws of local government, emphasizing good governance practices.
• Local Government Leadership - Explores concepts of leadership in local government through relevant case studies and activities.
• Project Management in Local Government - Project management theories, tools and practices for local government infrastructure and community projects.
• Planning and Economic Development - Planning and economic development strategies to stimulate local economic growth and community well-being.
• Human Resource Management in Local Government - Covers the principles and practices of human resource management in local government.
This terrific new program aims to develop and enhance the business acumen and leadership skills for a variety of executive and management roles in local government, as the curriculum seamlessly blends academic theory with practical application through real-world case studies and interactions with experienced professionals. The program is co-designed and co-delivered by impressively qualified industry experts like Janet Dore and Professor Tim Harrison both of whom have extensive practical and operational experience in multiple local government organisations.
Students can choose the number of units to complete, allowing them to tailor the course to their specific learning goals and aspirations. You can do four units for a Graduate Certificate of Local Government, or all eight units for the Graduate Diploma. Plus, you can then qualify for the MBA Program.
If you are ready to step up and study for your career in local governemnt, this is the course for you.
