Future boardroom leaders are being offered the chance to build their skills and experience by joining in a programme supported by the Port of Tyne.
The port operator is seeking applications for an apprentice to join its board as part of the UK Boardroom Apprentice Scheme which offers people over the age of 16 without prior boardroom experience the chance to join a year-long programme. The development and placement programme gives those who would like to serve on a public or third sector board a stepping stone into that role.
Over the 12 months, the appointed apprentice will undergo in-depth learning with support and within a year of completion the person is expected to find a board position with an organisation that matters to them. The scheme is designed to encourage wider diversity among boards.
