Led by Engage, the Extend Leadership Programme is a professional development programme open to applicants working in learning and education roles, across all art forms.
The programme is tailored for colleagues from the arts and cultural sectors, to enable eligible applicants to achieve a greater degree of leadership in their future careers.

Extend was developed in response to the under-representation of learning and education staff in the arts and cultural sectors.

The pilot programme was funded by the Cultural Leadership Programme and the Scottish Arts Council; subsequent programmes have been funded by Arts Council England, Creative Scotland and the Arts Council of Wales.
