Leadership development

Leadership knowledge, skills and behaviours are developed through experiences (on-the-job), learning through relationships (mentoring and coaching conversations) and structured learning opportunities (education; training courses). There are numerous development initiatives and opportunities available to State Service employees, indulging a range of Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) programs:

The Senior Executive Leadership Capability Framework is helpful in identifying the key skills, knowledge and behaviours you will need to develop. For advice about specific leadership development opportunities available to you in your organisation, speak to your manager and Human Resource Division or contact SSMO's Learning and Education Unit on 6232 7140.

External scholarship opportunities

Numerous highly-regarded scholarships are offered by other organisations (external to the Tasmanian State Service) on a regular basis that may benefit State Service employees. Some ideas are listed below:

Fulbright Professional Scholarship
Does the thought of studying and researching in the US appeal? Fulbright Professional Scholarships are available to Australian citizens, in junior to mid-career positions, poised for advancement to a senior role from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. For more information: Fulbright Scholarship information
Churchill Fellowship
The aim of the Churchill Fellowship Trust is to provide an opportunity for Australians to travel overseas to conduct research in their chosen field that is not readily available in Australia. For more information: http://www.churchilltrust.com.au/about/the-trust

Please note that these are not sponsored by SSMO. Enquiries and applications should be directed to the organisation concerned.
