The Workforce Gender Equality Accelerated Program is a six-month program that consists of organizational gender equality assessments, the seven-week virtual course, and four months of change management coaching that prepares managers to become agents of change within their organizations.
The Accelerated Program focuses on developing and improving company culture, policies, and practices that advance gender equality, and is most applicable to companies that have (or are in the process of developing) standard human resource practices.
The Accelerated Program is designed for female and male managers who wish to develop their gender equality expertise, boost their influence, and spearhead change within their organization. Operations leaders, HR managers, and managers of other support functions who are strategically placed within their organizations to influence change are encouraged to apply. Each program accepts up to fifty participants, and organizations are required to send two to three employees.
