Why Choose This Course
Career Advancement Programmes are increasingly significant for NGOs in the UK, given the competitive landscape and evolving needs of the social impact assessment sector. A recent study by the NCVO suggests that 70% of UK NGOs struggle to retain skilled staff, highlighting the urgent need for robust professional development initiatives. This underlines the importance of professional development opportunities that enhance employee skills and contribute to organizational effectiveness.
Investing in employee growth through tailored training programmes and mentorship schemes directly impacts an NGO’s ability to deliver impactful social impact assessments. The Charity Commission’s data indicates a 15% increase in the demand for skilled professionals in social impact evaluation over the last three years.
