Why Accelerate?

"I loved learning from a range of the industry's successful women, with such a diverse background and plurality of experience. This programme balances business and commercial learnings with a grounded perspective in the reality of being a woman in these spaces. I think the acknowledgement of that, and inspection on the extra 'work' or issues a person from a minority might have to navigate made it richer and feel more applicable. I have instant actions I can take to get more out of my career and evolve in the way that I want to." — Danielle T.
There's a business case for increased investement in professional development: 45% of workers are more likely to stay in their role if they receive training and companies with comprehensive employee training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training.

These resources are even more important for women & diverse professionals who face a gender gap when it comes to business and financial literacy that can negatively impact their career trajectory. Investing in skills growth can support a more equitable & innovative work environment for all.

"The WIRe Accelerate program helps with new skills and advice, as well as some really important refreshers. I personally created a cohort of fellow students, where we would do a module then discuss our learnings and what we enjoyed post module. This method helped bring the content to life, as well as helped keep us all accountable!" — Josephine L.
