Programmes and events for 2008-09
The remit of the Women’s Leadership Network is to provide professional support to female
leaders working at all levels within the further education and skills system. As part of our
mission to encourage career progression and provide professional support, we are offering a
comprehensive range of programmes and events during 2008-09.
Our programmes are delivered by experienced consultants who come from diverse
backgrounds and whose knowledge, skills and expertise have been gained from working
within and outside the FE system.
You can register to participate in one of the open programmes and events listed in this
schedule, or you can choose to have group training delivered in-house, if you prefer.

Why not have the training delivered in-house?
Courses can be delivered at a time and location of your choice, and can be tailored or developed specifically for your organisation. The in-house option offers the ideal opportunity to learn and address key issues with other local colleges and partners, and is particularly cost-effective for groups of six people or more.
