Abstract

Evaluation by participants on a management training course (run by the Durham University Business School for the North Yorkshire County Council) indicated that the programme, covering five modules and a personal project, contributed to personal and career development and was a valuable insight into industrial management. Awareness of work within different departments of the Council was increased and a team spirit evolved. Reservation was expressed, however, on whether certain techniques could be successfully transplanted into local authorities.
