College introduces new school of management and inclusive leadership

Sandwell college has launched a new school focusing on management and inclusive leadership.

This new School has already forged strong partnerships with the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) and the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). 

By working in tandem with these two organisations and other stellar institutions such as Aston University, the School is already working with many local employers to nurture, develop and retain their management and leadership talent. 

The school was formed by Bridgette Bennett, who has almost 30 years experience of working in the further education sector. Bridgette now acts as the head of the school of management and inclusive leadership.

A passionate advocate for the transformative power of effective management and leadership within organisations, she has held a variety of senior curriculum management and business development roles within several West Midlands Colleges. 

Bridgette and her team of highly qualified, expert lecturers and trainers have an unwavering commitment to inclusivity.  

The School’s raison d'être is to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue successful careers in management and leadership. 

What sets the new School apart from others is a mission that extends beyond helping organisations to grow and prosper via effective management and leadership,  as it also strives to unlock the latent management and leadership potential that exists within all individuals regardless of their origins or circumstances.

Bridgette said: “The School of Management and Inclusive Leadership exists to help local employers unlock the latent brilliance within their workforce, helping them to discover the ‘hidden gems’ of employees waiting to shine in their organisations.”
