Career development

A key objective for AUDE is to facilitate opportunities for members to develop their knowledge and skills to take the next steps in their careers. AUDE believes that learning and development should be at the heart of a high-performing estates and facilities management team. As part of our role we will develop your knowledge through networking, providing you with relevant resources and a variety of events.  

Responding to recent feedback members, the AUDE learning and development group has developed this suite of opportunities which reflect current key sector issues. The attended courses are spread geographically so that all members have an opportunity for development close to home. The groups aim is to support and enhance the career and development of estates professionals to ensure they feel equipped and confident to succeed in their role.
