> London, 22 July 2002 - The Quality Leader's Project is a short course
> management development programme aimed at black and minority ethnic public
> library and information professionals in the public sector throughout the
> UK.  Led by University of North London, the programme addresses the dual
> challenges of providing best practice for black and minority ethnic
> communities and equal employment opportunities for public library and
> information workers from those communities.  Resource: The Council for
> Museums, Archives and Libraries has provided funding for the project.
> Having successful completed the Quality Leader's Project, public library
and
> information workers will have enhanced their ability to reach more senior
> management positions.  The programme consists of either a six-month,
> part-time or full-time programme of work-based learning.  The learners
will
> develop a range of leadership and managerial skills and, at the end of the
> project, devise a service development proposal for their library service
> based upon original research into the needs of the local communities.
> Rajiv Anand, Resource's Cultural Diversity Development Officer, said:
"The
> Quality Leader's Project will provide the public libraries domain with
> innovative ways for black and ethnic minority library and information
staff
> to increase their skills through development and mentoring, enabling them
to
> further develop their careers."
> Recruitment is taking place throughout July and early August.  For further
> details and an application pack please contact: Dr Dean Bartlett, Deputy
