As an ambitious graduate, you want to develop quickly by taking on real challenges and opportunities. At the same time, local government is looking for talented leaders of the future. That’s why – as part of the government’s initiatives to improve capacity and modernise the sector – the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) receives funding to manage and develop the ngdp. The programme is designed to put your vision and creative thinking to use, and – by showcasing your talent – will give you the chance to fast track your career and become a senior manager as quickly as possible. Your work could take you in many different directions, and will enable you to not only recommend change, but actually make it happen.
