Having appropriate leadership succession plans in place to protect the organisations long-term viability is a crucial factor in ensuring continued growth and success. \nYet there is growing recognition amongst industry practitioners that the next generation of potential leaders are reluctant to step up to lead. What then is preventing these emerging leaders from answering their organisations call to lead? \nThis study attempts to answer that very question by providing a unique insight into the perceptions\, motivations\, skills and needs of these emerging leaders. \nIt will shine some light on potential barriers to leadership\, motivations to lead and identify the skills needed to successfully  transition into leadership roles. \nIn addition\, it will provide organisations with a new understanding of the enablers and disablers of leadership succession along with developing appropriate leadership transition strategies and approaches.

SUMMARY:Information Webinar: Language Coaching in the Workplace (L9 Micro-Credential)
DESCRIPTION:Information Webinar   \nSpring 2025 UL Level 9 Micro-Credential: Language Coaching in the Workplace \nIf you would like to know more about this new programme\nsupporting language learning and intercultural competence development in the workplace\n– join Dr Deirdre Ní Loingsigh (Course Leader & Lecturer) and Dr Catherine Martin (Lecturer)\non\nTuesday\, October 22nd at 11am \nvia Teams for an overview of the programme + Questions & Answers\n11am – 11:45 including Q&A\nClick here to register \nIreland is experiencing continued net inward migration of people from around the world\, leading to linguistic and cultural diversity across all levels of society. Consequently\, workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse and need to adapt to meet the linguistic needs of migrant workers and develop the language awareness and intercultural understandings of all workers within the workplace. This will serve to support the integration of migrant workers and create more inclusive workplaces which\, in turn\, will help to leverage the many benefits of a diverse workforce. \nHowever\, despite the benefits\, workplaces in Ireland are facing challenges in supporting workers whose first language is not the language of the workplace. Therefore\, a Micro-Credential in Language Coaching in the Workplace has been developed at the University of Limerick to support the creation of the role of Language Coach within workplaces and organisations. \nThis is a new professional practitioner role in Ireland to support effective and sustainable language learning within the organisational or workplace setting for employees from second language backgrounds. The module supports organisations seeking to develop English or Irish as a working language. \nLanguage coaching draws on elements of counselling\, positive psychology and knowledge of the affective side of language learning. \nThe Language Coach supports colleagues to find the best way to develop their language skills and confidence. The Language Coach also explores ways to develop language awareness and intercultural skills within the workplace more broadly\, which can have impact at organisational level. \n  \nMicro-Credential GA6172: Language Coaching in the Workplace   (NFQ Level 9\, 6 ECTS) \nThe module is taught by experts in the areas of language coaching\, language support in the workplace\, intercultural communication\, reflective practice and participatory professional practice. \n\nFully online\n12 weeks/ Spring 2025 — From 27th January to 25th April\ncombination of asynchronous pre-recorded lectures and synchronous tutorials.\nTime commitment = approximately 3 to 4 hours per week.\n\nWeekly Timetable: Pre-recorded lectures (1 hour + tasks); Wednesdays 13.00 – 14.30: Live online tutorials \nAssessment: Assessment is on a continuous basis. In addition to assessment tasks to support achievement of learning outcomes at key checkpoints in the module\, professional learners keep track of their learning trajectory as language coaches in a reflective portfolio \nCourse Fee: €750 per person (HCI funding applied)\nHCI Micro-Credential Course Learner Subsidy is available for Spring 2025\nFurther details about the course\, fees\, eligibility for fee subsidy & how to submit expressions of interest can be found at: https://www.ul.ie/gps/courses/an-choitseail-teanga-san-ionad-oibre-language-coaching-in-the-workplace-ga6172 \n  \n  \nFurther information: \nFor more detailed information about the programme\, please contact: \nDr Deirdre Ní Loingsigh (Course Leader & Lecturer) Deirdre.NiLoingsigh@ul.ie \nDr Catherine Martin (Lecturer) Catherine.Martin@ul.ie \n
