The program commences August 24, 2022 and ends September 28, 2022 and will be facilitated by distinguished female leaders across the OECS and Barbados and also the United States. Participants will engage in topics such as: • Building your brand and finding your place in politics • Developing new skills to advance your career • Diversity, Inclusion and community activism • Grow your professional network of fellow female leaders This year the programme will include a mentorship component which will commence after the training sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a mentorship program to strengthen their skills development, fortify what was taught during the training sessions and broaden their professional network.
