WCMAspire is a virtual 7 month program with 5 workshop sessions. Workshop sessions feature high calibre speakers and professional development experts, presenting on topics that support entry to mid-level women by providing you tools to achieve your career goals and accelerate your career.
Peer to Peer Mentoring is a new component, where registrants will be matched with 2 peers throughout the cycle of the program. Through this non-structured component, registrants will share stories from their career journey and gain valuable learning opportunities from their peers.
To get the most out of this program you will be expected to get involved with networking opportunities, complete pre-work before sessions & show up to all sessions prepared to fully engage.
Tentative Offerings
I learned so much during my time in the program and my confidence increased greatly. I received a promotion throughout the course of this program and I owe a lot of that to the coaching I received during this program.
WCM Aspire Participant
Great sessions and speakers! I think the way the first session was run was incredible. I learned a lot and met a lot of peers, which is hard to do when you are in a smaller office. Thanks for the experience!
