We are organising a programme of professional workshops designed to help individuals with both their personal and political development.
Please register your interest below, however, please note that participation in CWO Development programmes is only available to members of the Conservative Party.
If you are not a member of the party then you can join here.
As an aspiring candidate, who has only more recently become involved in politics, I found the CWO Development workshops hugely helpful. I attended three out of the four courses on offer and got a huge amount out of each training day. Not only were the workshops informative and extremely practical but they were also a great way to network and meet other future candidates. The courses covered everything from campaign communications to setting up your website and social media presence.
It was quite terrifying doing the first round of mock selection questions but, after a few times, answering questions on every area of policy from the economy to the NHS health reforms on the spot it just showed that practice makes all the difference. I particularly valued the media training with a mock radio interview and Question Time style panel. Other useful tips including information on compliance, filling out your application forms and how to fundraise for your campaign. Anyone who is even thinking about running as a Councillor, MP or MEP should attend one of the CWO's excellent courses.
