Our member, Exeter College, is offering a new, government-funded way to build AI capability within your leadership team: the AI Leadership Apprenticeship Units.
What are apprenticeship units? Short, flexible training courses that help employers upskill staff quickly in critical skill shortage areas.
They’re built on existing employer-led apprenticeship standards, so the training is targeted and high-quality, without the full apprenticeship duration.
The three units
Take one unit or all three as a progression from strategy, to adoption, to delivery.
- AI STRATEGY & OPPORTUNITY
Set direction, build the business case and shape your organisation’s AI strategy.
- AI DELIVERY & ORGANISATIONAL TRANSFORMATION
Lead AI-enabled change safely and manage workforce impact and AI risk.
- AI ADOPTION, PROCUREMENT & GOVERNANCE
Evaluate AI vendors, make procurement decisions and build responsible governance.
Who can join?
Anyone employed, aged 19 or over
In a leadership role with autonomy to drive technological change and inform investment decisions
