British Council Introduces Women In Leadership Programme

Islamabad: The British Council, in partnership with SEED Ventures, has launched ‘Women in Leadership Programme’ which is aimed at empowering and developing the leadership skills of women across the country.

The programme, designed for women at all levels of their vocations, will follow CLORE’s Social Leadership training which will provide a range of professional and personal development opportunities, including training workshops, mentorship and networking events.

Through this initiative, the British Council aims to address the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions and create a more diverse and inclusive workplace.

Under the programme, the training is being held at Extreme Commerce College in Karachi and also in other cities.

The programme will cover a range of topics, including communication, conflict resolution and strategic planning. Participants will have access to experienced facilitators and mentors who will provide guidance and support throughout the programme.

In addition, the programme will provide opportunities for participants to connect with a network of like-minded women, and expand their professional and personal networks. The training will commence in February and continue till March.

All 10 facilitators and 48 participants chosen for the project were carefully elected via a rigorous selection process and are spread across all demographics of Pakistan.

British Council Pakistan Deputy Director Maarya Rehman said, “We are thrilled to launch the Women in Leadership Programme which we believe will make a significant impact on the advancement of women in the workplace.”

“Gender equality is essential for a thriving and inclusive society, and we are committed to playing our part in achieving this goal,” she added. APP
