Text Resize : PUBLIC SECTOR TRAINING: North/South and Cross-Border Public Sector Training programme: Phase I
Last saved: 22 November 2007
There are now over 700 civil and public servants working on North/South and cross border co-operation issues in North/South bodies, government departments and other public agencies in the two Irish jurisdictions. Currently there are few opportunities for such people to undertake induction or training courses to equip them for work in this new, complex and politically sensitive area. The Centre for Cross Border Studies, Co-operation Ireland and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) have come together to offer two pilot accredited training courses in North/South and cross-border cooperation for senior and middle-ranking officials in Northern Ireland and Ireland. Each course consists of four modules (with presentations and case studies) and an assignment. The four modules will cover North/South co-operation in the public and NGO sectors; North/South public finance and governance issues; North/South economic and business cooperation; and Cross-border cooperation at local authority and community level. The assignments are carried out by participants in pairs – one from the North and one from the South – to maximise the cross-border learning experience. The best assignments are listed as publications below.
