Strengthen your team’s delivery capacity
We're hosting a live Associate Programme information session for Authorities. The session will provide a practical overview of who’s currently in our Candidate Pool, how the programme works from end to end, and how Associates can help strengthen your team’s capacity - plus a chance to ask our team questions directly.
The event will take place on Monday, 28 September at 1 pm.
Here’s what we’ll cover
What’s changing for planning and placemaking teams
Pooja Agrawal, Public Practice CEO, will share findings from our Planning Teams for the Future report and what we are seeing across the sector.

Daniel Davis, Head of Recruitment at Public Practice, will explain selection, matching, employment, fees and ongoing support.
What it looks like in practice
Alison Blom-Cooper, Interim Strategic and Spatial Planning Lead at Sussex & Brighton Strategic Authority, will share how the programme has helped her teams address capacity gaps and what their Associates have contributed.
What you’ll leave with
You will leave with the practical information needed to decide whether the Associate Programme could support a current or upcoming role.
Who should attend?
This session is for senior leaders, heads of service, hiring managers and delivery leads responsible for planning, regeneration and placemaking teams.
It will be particularly useful if you are considering how to resource a current or upcoming priority.
