LEAD Job Shadowing Sep. 2017 Brussels
LEAD Project Job shadowing
Job Shadowing & Training Programme
24-30 September 2017
Brussels, Belgium
LEAD job shadowing
The LEAD job shadowing is part of the LEAD project activities. It supports selected academic leaders from LEAD partners to job shadow a counterpart (with similar job function) at another project partner in order to share experience and develop academic leadership and relevant competences.
The job shadower can be university-level academic leaders or other university/institution/department level academic leaders. With well-defined and well-prepared job shadowing, the learning process can go much deeper and can facilitate the learning and exchange of experiences in depth, and facilitate cooperation such as development of twin/sister institutions/departments between the actors involved. This will be mutually beneficial as the exchange of experiences, cooperation, and learning from both sides can deepen the understanding on key issues and strengthen the capacities of partner universities on governance and academic leadership.
