Women’s Leadership Programme
Delivered by UONGOZI Institute and Yale School of Management, Women’s Leadership Programme (WLP) is a six-month programme dedicated to advancing women into leadership roles. It provides them with unparalleled learning opportunities through the Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF), training, coaching, and mentoring.
The delivery approach is in-person and virtual. Participants are required to attend a six-day training workshop and a one-day forum at the start of the programme. Coaching and mentoring sessions are delivered online for a period of five and a half months. The estimated time commitment per month is 1-4 days. To maximise the learning experience and outcomes, an in-person session for all participants of the programme is organised a day before graduation. Together, they reflect on key lessons and how they can be applied to their roles and organisations.
