Advancing bid and proposal management as an intentional career path in ANZ
In October 2024, APMP ANZ Intentional Career Path (ICP) Committee Member Paige Duffy CF APMP presented to The University of Queensland’s Writing for the Professions cohort.
Paige presented an Introduction to Bids and Proposals as part of the cohort’s Corporate Communications learning outcome, exploring the role of bidding for contemporary businesses to secure revenue and sustain employment. The cohort was enlightened to the real possibility of securing an intentional career as a bids and proposals professional and the opportunity this grants to flex their creative skills through applying persuasive writing techniques to craft a compelling and winning submission.
The presentation was a great success with the ICP Committee receiving queries from some attendees interested in understanding how to pursue their own bidding and proposals career.
If you know of any cohorts who would be interested in or who would benefit from a similar introduction, the APMP ANZ ICP Committee would love to hear from you! Please contact us with your connections at training@apmpanz.org. Together, we can pave the way for the future of our profession.
