Description

As part of the LGA’s three graduate programmes, the Impact: The Local Government Graduate Programme, Impact: Finance, and Pathways to Planning, the LGA wishes to receive bids from individuals, organisations or sole traders to create materials for our assessment centres for each of the three programmes. The successful supplier will develop exercises and mark schemes aligned to each programme’s competency framework. This will include initial design, piloting with an appropriate sample group, analysis of outcomes and refinement of the materials as required, with the explicit aim of ensuring the assessment is robust, accessible and minimises adverse impact.
