This webinar recording shares insights from both a university and a multi-academy trust board member.
Education has a huge impact on young people’s life chances and being a non-executive in this sector can be enormously rewarding. Hear two education board members share how their commercial skill sets apply in education – one on a university board and one on a specialist Multi-Academy Trust. They explore the cultural differences they have found in this sector, the rewards and challenges they have experienced, and share how they found the roles.
