The National Library of South Africa is inviting proposals for the implementation of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme designed for emerging library leaders. This initiative aims to equip library professionals with essential ICT skills that are increasingly vital in the context of the Fifth Industrial Revolution. The programme will focus on developing competencies that align with modern technological advancements and the evolving landscape of information management.

The scope of the project includes the design, delivery, and evaluation of training modules that cover a range of ICT skills pertinent to library services. Participants will engage in hands-on training, workshops, and collaborative projects that foster innovation and adaptability in library practices. The successful bidder will be expected to demonstrate expertise in both library science and ICT, ensuring that the training is relevant and impactful for emerging leaders in the field.

By participating in this CPD programme, library leaders will not only enhance their professional skills but also contribute to the overall advancement of library services in South Africa. The initiative aims to create a network of skilled professionals who can effectively navigate the challenges posed by rapid technological changes, ultimately leading to improved library services and community engagement.
