WASD and all its affiliated partners runs regular capacity building and training workshops and masterclasses to introduce a variety of new perspectives for Higher Education (HE) institutions (universities, colleges and research institutes) to accelerate their role in helping countries achieve the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These programmes will explore various top professional standards and guidelines for teaching and research in the UK and other leading countries such as the UK Higher Education Advanced Professional Standards Framework. There will also be great focus on issues relating to teaching excellence, including teaching quality, learning environment, continuous professional staff development and other important issues relating to student support and career development. The programmes also provide academic staff across HE particularly in the Post Covid-19 global pandemic with tools to engage positively and co-produce ways of working that meet the needs of service delivery and wider society. The tools introduced will help augment current organisation and professional practices in a time efficient manner. At the end of the course attendees should be able to put in place their daily, weekly, monthly and annual rhythms of reflections, appraisal and documentation to help achieve their own career goals, work-life balance, and better outcomes for their patients and services.
Our various training packages are designed and delivered by the top and renowned experts from across the world to help countries and regions to diversify their economies and achieve sustainable competitiveness. WASD training programmes include comprehensive packages which are specially commissioned for HE institutions, and countries to suit each client. Our programmes have been attended by more than 1000 participants from around the globe and have attracted above 5000 participants from more than 40 countries. And while English is the main language for all our training programmes but we have several facilitators who can deliver the packages in other languages including Arabic, French, Spanish and other languages.
