Navigator Development Programme for Men (Grades 2-5)

The next Navigator Development Programme for Men will run from March to June 2025 – Applications are open until Friday 28 February 2025.

What is Navigator?

The Navigator development programme enables men who work in roles graded two to five to identify the practical and realistic steps that they want to take at work and at home, and then develop the skills and focus to do something about them.

Developed in response to the success of the Springboard programme for women, Navigator has been successfully used by over 7,000 men from all sectors in the world of work. It is delivered to great acclaim, through a specially trained network of licensed trainers.

Navigator is your chance to:

  • Review your progress to date
  • Re-energise your career
  • Develop hidden talents
  • Set practical goals and realistic action plans
  • Deal better with stress and change
  • Put yourself across better
  • Start to make the contacts and support to make things happen
  • Balance work with home life
