Covéa joins search for future leaders
Covéa Insurance is one of seven major employers in Calderdale taking part in a new community partnership designed to develop the next generation of leaders.
Along with West Yorkshire Police, Calderdale College, West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, Together Housing, Halifax Opportunities Trust and Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation, Covéa Insurance will offer aspiring leaders the chance to join like-minded people on a journey to leadership excellence, where they will benefit from pioneering training methods, whilst working towards an accredited leadership and management qualification.
The two-year programme is being run by Rise, the Calderdale College skills service for employers. It features a wide range of masterclasses and seminars, including keynote speakers from different industry sectors, designed to equip participants with the information, knowledge and understanding they need to succeed as future leaders. Tapping into the resources of partnering businesses, the programme will take participants out of their comfort zone, helping to increase their confidence, experience and skills.
On completion, participants will emerge equipped to thrive in leadership roles, supporting the future prosperity and success of the wider Calderdale region.
Matthew Metcalfe, senior manager for talent and acquisition, Covéa Insurance said, ‘This is a ground-breaking initiative and we’re delighted to be involved. Community based learning programmes offer great potential to equip our people with the skills they need to become highly effective leaders, benefiting our business and the community as a whole.’
