Our Moving Up programme supports Black and Asian minoritised groups who are managers or aspiring managers and have the desire and drive to progress in their career but are facing blockages and resistance preventing them from doing so.
The programme has had a significant impact on the participants who’ve taken part over the last 12 years. It’s important to offer opportunities and support to people who are Black and Asian and wish to fulfil their career goals.
If you're a Black or Asian manager or aspiring manager, this programme is all about you. By , you'll gain an increased understanding of who you are, your strengths and your weaknesses and a variety of techniques to help overcome any personal challenges you may have. It will focus on increasing your confidence and self-belief, to allow you to grow and progress to where you want to be in your career.
The programme will provide you with the tools to focus and understand your organisation better to help you shape and influence your career progression.
It will explore your personal brand, how people perceive you, how you present yourself to others, and your leadership style.
You will share experiences and ideas with your peers and develop a strong support network. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals and learn from each other.
One of the best leadership and training programmes I鈥檝e done in my career. We had a safe and supportive space for real conversations and personal development through this leadership and management programme. The support and delivery by the facilitators and programme lead were second to none.
