This results-oriented leadership programme for young women in the Eastern Caribbean and Barbados was conceptualised in 2020 by the United States Embassy in Bridgetown Barbados. The Regional Organisation of Women in Leadership was awarded a grant by US Embassy Bridgetown to implement the 2022 programme. Greater female participation in politics and leadership in the Caribbean is encouraged through active participation in sessions with leading professionals.
The programme commenced on 24 August 2022 and ends on 28 September 2022 and will be facilitated by distinguished female leaders across the OECS and Barbados and also the United States. Participants will engage in topics such as:
- Building your brand and finding your place in politics
- Developing new skills to advance your career
- Diversity, Inclusion and community activism
- Grow your professional network of fellow female leaders
This year the programme will include a mentorship component which will commence after the training sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a mentorship programme to strengthen their skills development, fortify what was taught during the training sessions and broaden their professional network.
The Regional Organisation of Women in Leadership congratulates the new inductees and looks forward to a productive 6 weeks with all the participants.
