Program Summary

The LG Professionals SA Ignite Program is a leadership learning path for new supervisors, team leaders and coordinators in local government across South Australia. 

As a new leader with limited experience in managing and leading people, this program focuses on enabling you to develop the competencies required to be successful in your role.

While leaders are often technically competent, many have had limited opportunity to develop new, or extend the existing, critical skills needed for leading and managing people. The importance of developing these qualities for people in these roles is critical and cannot be underestimated.
