Future boardroom leaders are being offered the chance to build their skills and experience by joining in a programme supported by the Port of Tyne.

The port operator is seeking applications for an apprentice to join its board as part of the 海角视频 Boardroom Apprentice Scheme which offers people over the age of 16 without prior boardroom experience the chance to join a year-long programme. The development and placement programme gives those who would like to serve on a public or third sector board a stepping stone into that role.

Over the 12 months, the appointed apprentice will undergo in-depth learning with support and within a year of completion the person is expected to find a board position with an organisation that matters to them. The scheme is designed to encourage wider diversity among boards.

Applications to the Port of Tyne are being sought up to a closing date of November 14, and hopefuls need to have not previously held a board position on a public-sector body or have gained experience on private, voluntary, community or social enterprise boards.

Organisers says the position requires a significant personal commitment as apprentices are expected to devote time during the working day, along with some evenings and weekends. Candidates will need their employer's support to apply.

Lucy Armstrong, chair at Port of Tyne, said: "We see the 海角视频 Boardroom Apprentice programme as a mutually beneficial experience. It’s a great opportunity for someone looking to become a non-executive director to develop confidence in a board setting, build their network and understand the skills required to undertake the role.

“As an organisation we welcome the diversity of thought and fresh perspective it brings to our boardroom, as well as the additional challenge to existing ways of working. I would encourage anyone who is eligible and aspires to serve on a board in the public or third sector to apply."
