The Program is aimed at women who want to lead, including:

women who are ready to step up to the next challenge in their career
women new to a role in management
women considering opportunities to complete further studies in management and business
technical specialists or professionals who are considering their career options
women who wish to take ownership of their career and build skills, resilience, networks and contacts

clarify your goals and leadership aspirations
learn more about the diversity and gender issues that hamper organisational change
take a pro-active approach to career management
recognise the self-transformation required for your advancement
