Springboard: women's development program

Overview

Designed for women from all backgrounds, ages and stages of life, this award winning program offers development that has been proven to work. The workshops aim to enable participants to take action toward their goals in small positive steps, make positive decisions about their personal and work options, and enhance performance. It enables women to take more control over their own work/lives, identify the clear, practical and realistic steps that they want to take and develop the skills and confidence to take those steps and progress.

Course Content

The program gives participants the ideas and skills to take control of their lives as well as the boost in self confidence to start making things happen. Participants set their own change agenda. Springboard is delivered as a blended learning program over four months.
