This programme focuses on targeted leadership development for individuals from global majority backgrounds. Co-created with staff from these leading institutions, both in academia and professional services, the pilot programme ran from May to December 2024. It featured a series of facilitated workshops, peer-led masterclasses, networking opportunities with senior leaders from all three universities, dedicated sponsors, and supportive coaches. The programme is designed to equip leaders and line managers with the tools and resources necessary to drive meaningful change.
I’m very pleased to be part of this initiative, which is a great step forward to addressing the lack of racially minoritised individuals in senior leadership roles at this institution and across the sector. I hope this programme will help increase the profile of colleagues from the global majority and will empower me to continue dismantling the barriers that contribute to the lack of diversity in senior leadership.
