The Finance professional community is a new and unique development network for finance roles in school trusts.
The community provides support and development opportunities at a time of unprecedented change, through a blend of expert input on key practice challenges, facilitated discussion and networking.
The virtual community will give you a safe and supportive environment in which to develop your understanding of some of the key challenges related to operational practice across a group of schools, access expertise from across the sector, and build a professional community.
It is not intended to duplicate the work of existing valuable networks, like the FD Forum.
CST's professional communities focus on the concept of ‘practice challenges’ and engage through:
- Termly virtual community meetings
- Networking with colleagues across our sector
- Access to CST briefings and guidance.
As a member of the community, you will also gain exclusive access to our virtual platform. This is a peer learning platform that connects you with a community of information, resources and support, that you can access anytime and anywhere. On the platform you'll find an ever-growing collection of resources, containing information about key knowledge areas needed in our profession, as well as a space to connect, learn and interact with your peers from across the country.
Membership of the community is included for employees of member trusts as a benefit of CST membership. Join using the button below with your MyCST membership details.
