Are you:
- Working with, or from, an underserved community?
- Currently in a leadership position and looking to enhance your skills?
- Thinking about moving into leadership but not quite sure if it’s for you?
- Wanting to participate in an evidence-based, engaging and transforming leadership development program that rates as career changing on formal evaluations?
Given last year’s unprecedented popularity of our Women in Leadership Program Scholarships, we are delighted to announce we are doing it all again this year for International Women’s Day!
According to UN Women, “women’s economic empowerment is central to a gender equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead – entire communities thrive”.
Yes to that!
The UN Women’s theme for IWD 2024 is “Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress”. The Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation (MCHRI) are proud to be working together with consumers, stakeholders and partners on our research and implementation projects year-round to improve women’s opportunities earn, learn and lead, including career opportunities which are critically linked to women’s wellbeing and health.
To celebrate IWD 2024, the NHMRC and partner funded Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership initiative and MCHRI are offering 15 women who are working with, or from, an underserved community the opportunity to attend the Monash University Women in Leadership Program at the significantly reduced rate of $500 (usual cost $1500).
This three-day program can be accessed flexibly throughout 2024, in our multiple recurrent online and in-person programs.
