TaPP Provides Benefits for the Employer
June 30, 2009
TaPP is an investment for the Company/Organisation as a whole as well as in the student.
The TaPP course has been developed to be delivered in such a way that the company, charity or organisation employing the student also derives considerable benefit from the course. For example tasks are set which require the student to review aspects of management, which, if implemented would considerably improve competitiveness and thus success when tendering.
Students are required to undertake reviews, make recommendations, prepare draft Board papers, etc. As a direct result of staff undertaking the course in the pilot groups there are already examples of their employers:
making changes to the tendering procedures leading to improved tendering success;
having an increased understanding of the options to challenge the decisions of the purchaser and when to do this; making changes to the way presentations and interviews are conducted;
considering Board papers presented by the student making recommendations a to how the company/organisation can become more competitive;
benefitting by students from umbrella organisations and federations having the ability to undertake reviews of other organisations to help them to become more competitive.
