The UK’s 2020 Leaders Plus Fellowship, which enables parents to progress their careers whilst enjoying their young families, is now open for applications.
The ‘award-winning’ fellowship, supported by Cambridge University Social Ventures, is for managers and leaders on maternity or shared parental leave, or returners with children under the age of three.
The nine-month programme supports talented parents (male or female) to continue to stay on the leadership pipeline, while they enjoy their young family. It also provides access to an external peer support network, high quality training, mentoring and inspiring role models, according to the social enterprise.
CAREER ACCELERATION
Fellows get exclusive access to a cross-organisational network of peers, as well as a personal senior leader mentor. Plus, there’s expert advice on career acceleration, practical support to overcome work/life hurdles and plenty of baby friendly networking events and workshops to give courage and confidence navigating work and home life in a senior role. More than a third of its 2018 fellows have been promoted to date, confirmed Leaders Plus.
“We want to build a positive movement of leaders with young children who not only accelerate their own careers, but also help change the system so that in the future no parent feels forced to choose between caring for their children and continuing to progress their careers,” stated Leaders Plus Founder and CEO, Verena Hefti.
