Funding of up to £1,000 available for professional & technical sector women

Women & Leadership International is running a national initiative to support the development of female leaders across the UK’s professional & technical sector and is offering grants of up to £1,000 towards the cost of its Executive Ready course.

The course is a seven month leadership and career accelerator, designed to stretch mid-level managers and propel them towards executive level performance, behaviours and mindsets. It uses a blend of online workshops, self-directed learning and two face-to face workshops and there are two UK programs scheduled to commence in late May: one in London and the other in Birmingham.

The course enrolment fee is £3,490 which covers all tuition and coaching, course related materials and access to the WLI online learning portal but does not cover travel and accommodation costs associated with attendance at the two face-to-face workshops.

“The Executive Ready program is designed to encourage interactivity, to the point where the class developed such a rapport and a shared commonality throughout the learning process, that it became so much more than just ’we are on a course together’. It was a fantastic group and we are looking to continue our connections with each other long into the future.” Sharon Solyman, Manager, Pathway and Partnerships
