The WIRe Accelerate program was born out of a simple statement. "I wish I'd known...." Said time and time again at the 2019 WIRexec UK Summit, it became clear that there was a gap between what woman leaders in the Industry had been taught and the professional development concepts that had proven most valuable to us. WIRe Accelerate came from that insight — that there was a need for equity-oriented, non employer-based professional development in our industry and beyond.
Our foundational WIRe Accelerate program is a multi-module, virtual program that can be completed at your own pace. Participants who complete the program and exhibit an understanding of the concepts and skills within will receive a certificate of completion as well as an international cohort of like-minded Industry professionals to connect and grow with. Module content ranges from the concrete — lessons on OKR's, ROI, and career path planning — to the personal, with a special focus on the life changing tips and challenges that women face. Built with parents, caregivers, and students in mind, each module can be completed in under two hours and there is no set timeline for completion.
In late 2022 we added a new offering to the WIRe Accelerate suite of programming: our mini-course, "Kickstart Your Career" with content focused on the unique needs of those new to the industry or looking to change their career trajectory.
There is no time limit for completion of any of our programs; all modules are available to you upon registration and you can register at any time. Visit our course page to view program modules and outlines.
