Our Women into Leadership Programme has been chosen as a finalist in the Student Experience Award – HE/FE Sector category. The Women into Leadership Programme is dedicated to breaking down barriers and empowering the next generation of female leaders with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in their chosen paths. Acknowledging the ongoing challenges women face in navigating a world historically shaped by male-dominated leadership, the programme seeks to inspire young women to redefine and transform these spaces.
Through dynamic talks and hands-on workshops the programme focuses on building confidence, enhancing communication skills, fostering professional networks, improving financial literacy, and promoting health and wellbeing. Its mission is to prepare and inspire future female leaders to thrive and drive meaningful change.

Our Aspiring to STEM initiative is a finalist in the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Initiative Award.

The Aspiring to STEM programme empowers students through global connections, practical skills workshops, and community engagement. Highlights include international speakers, partnerships with organisations such as Medology and Scrubbed Up, and university taster days.
The awards ceremony will take place on 3rd April at Hilton Manchester Deansgate. We wish all our finalists the best of luck and we’re excited to share how it goes.
