Deadline: July 28, 2023
Applications are open for the UONGOZI Institute Women’s Leadership Programme 2023. The Women’s Leadership Programme allows senior and emerging female leaders to navigate the unique leadership challenges that deter female professionals in the workplace from occupying senior leadership positions. The programme aims to enhance their ability to make strategic choices; lead people and resources; and excel in personal and leadership qualities.
The programme includes four sections: Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF), training, coaching, and mentoring. The WLF brings together political and business leaders to exchange ideas and share best practices to promote women’s inclusion in leadership roles. Training hones in on participants’ ability to manage their inner selves, lead others, and harness resources. It includes four modules that are run over six consecutive days.
Coaching and mentoring sessions come after training and are aimed at accelerating individual growth. The duration is five and a half months. The estimated time commitment per month is 1-4 days. To complete the programme, participants must fully participate and complete all sessions and also, complete graded assignments.
