Introduction to Economic Development CPD Course with Professor Graeme Roy

February 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am - March 6, 2023 @ 12:30 pm

Please note this course is now full.

Recent events have highlighted both the importance of a strong economy and the fragility of our current economic model to sudden change.

In such times, it is all the more important for economic professionals to be up-to-speed with the latest developments and emerging trends and insights.

This course on Introduction to Economic Development is designed as a refresh and for people new to the role in local authorities, regional and national agencies and other organisations. It will cover key policies and strategies, and institutional arrangements, relevant to the Scottish setting. And it will discuss the future direction of travel, including around the transition to net zero and the drive toward a well-being economy.

The course will also provide an accessible introduction into the world of economic development through the lens of the Scottish economy. Key terms and data sources will be covered, alongside a discussion of Scotland’s economic strengths and weaknesses at both a national and local level.

We’ll spend some time talking about ‘hot topics’ of the day.

  • Monday 20th Feb 10am – 12noon
  • Monday 27th Feb 10am – 12noon
  • Monday 6th March 10am – 12noon
