management. The course provides an overview of the theory and practice of
modern leadership competencies and behaviours in TVET, and the processes
needed to initiate a corresponding change process in the institutional environment. The concept of transformational leadership combined with new approaches to agile and change management tools and methods will form the focus of the programme.
