Key Benefits of our Women’s Programmes

Academic insights and practical takeaways

The Women’s Programmes have been designed to provide you with the latest insights in the broad areas of management and leadership. The programmes feature professors, lecturers and experts who bring not only the most up-to-date insights from academia, but also immediately applicable, highly relevant practical takeaways. Our Women’s Programmes aim to optimally equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to step into their next role.

Competence development, skills training and self-reflection

Whether in the areas of management and leadership, our Women’s Programmes pro-vide partici-pants with the competencies and skills needed to meet the challenges they face as they advance in their career. Self-reflection is an essential component of any career transition, and our programmes enable participants to benefit from this crucial phase through targeted, goal-focused self-reflection.

Support through coaching, mentoring and networking opportunities

Relauching one’s career, repositioning oneself professionally, assuming a leadership role and planning one’s next career steps all require sound support and guidance, and opportunities for network expansion. Depending on the programme, our Women’s Pro-grammes offer personalized career consulting, mentoring with senior leaders, and networking opportunities that enable participants to build relationships which is an important aspect at any stage of one’s career.
