Dear colleague



Spring - it’s a time for renewal and growth. Leaving winter firmly behind us can often be the catalyst for looking at the year ahead with renewed optimism and energy. It’s the perfect time to revisit your personal development goals, planting the seeds of future self-improvement.



So, if you’re feeling full of the joys of spring, why not be curious and open-minded about the new learning opportunities available to you from Civil Service Learning (CSL)?



A good place to start is with CSL’s curriculum prospectus. This handy guide summarises each of the new learning and development activities available through CSL, for everyone from AA to grade 6. You can browse through the prospectus or use the curriculum map on page one to navigate by your personal interests and learning needs.



Your personal development

As you begin to think about personal growth and development, there are a number of topics in the CSL prospectus which are definitely worth a closer look.



Some of these are about developing your own personal attributes, such as assertiveness or influencing others. Others focus on leadership skills, such as setting objectives and conducting conducting high quality conversations.



Get ready for Learning at Work Week

This spring also sees the return of Learning at Work Week, 15-21 May. Why not get ready for the week by exploring what’s on offer from our curriculum?



From bite size resources, short courses and workshops right through to extended leadership programmes, professional accreditations and even apprenticeships, CSL really does feature something for everyone.



Invest time in your personal learning now and a rich harvest of new skills, fresh ideas and inspiration awaits. It really is time well spent.
