The Sydney Business School (University of Wollongong) is proud to announce a scholarship opportunity to assist an emerging leader from the local Indigenous Community.
Applications are invited from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to participant in the two-year leadership program commencing in October 2016.
The program is suitable for people who have demonstrated leadership potential based on professional achievement who would benefit from a program of activities that assists in developing effective leadership skills and encourages them to become more self-aware of their strengths, weaknesses and development goals and appreciate the value that different styles bring to building high performing teams.
To do this participants undertake a program of events over a two year period including: Leadership Coaching and Development sessions; four one day Master Classes presented by academics from the Sydney Business School, University of Wollongong; presentations and discussions with highly experienced Australian business professionals and Federal, State and local politicians; visits to Federal and State Parliaments; visits to organisations such as Microsoft, Telstra and local organisations, each designed to build on topics covered in the Master Classes; an opportunity to interact with other high potential leaders; and an individual mentoring program with business leaders from the Illawarra.
In addition, participants can also gain credit points towards a degree program at the Sydney Business School, simply by being a part of the program and completing an optional assessment task.
The Leadership Illawarra Program is a two-year experiential learning program for the region’s emerging leaders. Developed by Sydney Business School, RDA Illawarra, and The Illawarra Connection, the program aims to produce inspired and well-connected visionaries who will lead our region into the future.
Applicants should have the support of their workplace, agency or organisation.
Applications close 5pm Friday, 2 September 2016. For more information, contact Karen Bain [email protected] or 0416266302.
