Emerging Leaders Program

TheĀ Emerging Leaders Program supportsĀ early career women and emerging female leaders in STEM and Security Professions to build a strong foundation for enduring leadership through developing their leadership motivations, mindset and skills, so they can effectively engage, influence and lead others.
Tailored leadership development is critical for women at all levels, and in STEM- and Security-related industries is a key contributor to career satisfaction and retention. It is particularly important for emerging female leaders, as it supports women who are skilled and passionate in their field of expertise to understand their leadership purpose, apply their strengths as a leader and strengthen confidence in their leadership abilities.
It puts emerging leaders on the right path to building their leadership experience, and finding the right role models, mentors and networks to support them in becoming that leader.
