All too often volunteer leaders/trustees and employees in the non-profit sector can find themselves in management and leadership roles without having a full understanding of what such roles actually involve. Furthermore, it is frequently the case that no further training or support is offered to people in these demanding positions.
The recently published OECD Skills Strategy for Ireland identified the need for continuous improvement of leadership and management skills within non-profit sector in Ireland. Strong leadership and management capabilities are important drivers of organisational change, helping to optimise the use of skills in workplaces and drive innovation, productivity and organisation performance. Previous studies have highlighted a need to improve management capability in Ireland, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises. The OECD Strategy recommended extending flexible, subsidised, customisable development opportunities available to Ireland’s managers to maximise the accessibility, relevance and value of support:
- Address gaps in management training for mid-sized, locally traded service companies and community, voluntary and social enterprises.
- Advance new flexible, subsidised and customisable management training and scale up successful existing programmes.
Target Audience
Board Members, CEOs, Managers, Members of Management Teams, or anyone interested in any of these roles.
Outline
Very often the structure within non-profit organisations is to have the CEO of the organisation lead a Management Team made up of Managers of certain functions within the organisation. Members of the Board hold all Managers & Staff to account through the CEO who reports directly to them. But what does it mean to be a Manager, and a member or a leader of a Management Team, or a Leader of a group of people on your Board?
This 3-part online Leadership Programme will be comprised of:
- Leadership: From what makes an effective leader to developing your own leadership style.
- Team Building: From what makes a highly functioning team to how to motivate teams and attract people to join them.
- Developing your personal skills and getting access to tools for leadership, management and team building.
The schedule for this programme is:
- Wednesday 11/09/2024 6:30pm-9pm
- Wednesday 25/09/2024 6:30pm-9pm
- Wednesday 09/10/2024 6:30pm-9pm

Target Audience
For Approved Housing Bodies categorised as ‘Micro’ (less than 20 dwellings) and ‘Small’ (between 20 and 100 dwellings).
Outline
The Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority (AHBRA) is an independent authority, established in February 2021. The organisation is tasked with the regulation of Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) for the purposes of protecting housing assets provided or managed by such bodies. Section 37(8) of the Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Act 2019 requires all AHBs to comply with the Standards. The AHBRA establish a set of outcomes that AHBs are required to achieve to demonstrate the protection of housing assets provided or managed by AHBs.
Compliance with the Standards is a statutory requirement and clearly this presents many challenges for AHBs at the smaller end of the scale, particularly from a human and financial resource perspective.
The primary objective of the training programme is to provide AHBs categorised as ‘Micro’ (less than 20 dwellings) and ‘Small’ (between 20 and 100 dwellings with a clear understanding of the Standards for AHBs, enabling them to effectively implement and maintain compliance.
The training content supports:
- develop an increased awareness of the Standards for AHBs and what it means for them;
- enhance operational efficiency and help understand to a greater extent how compliance can be demonstrated; and
- undertake gap analysis to identify weaknesses or non-compliance with the Standards.
