Over 2 session weeks, 10 of our Year 11 girls attended an ABCN Focus Program with the Commonwealth bank at South Eveleigh. The program typically targets young women from Years 10-11 who already demonstrate leadership potential.
The Program aims to provide young women with the essential leadership skills they need to engage in a successful, meaningful career.
The initiative addresses the under-representation of women in senior roles in Australia. It is designed to support young women to develop their leadership skills, aspire to senior roles in business and the community, and foster a sense of self-belief that will encourage them to aim high.
Focus involves female students working in small groups with female executives who act as role models and mentors. Mentors sharing their own career journeys and challenges can make an enormous impact as students consider their options for the future.
The 2 fully facilitated sessions included an introduction to leadership styles, realising strengths and creating a leadership picture.
We would like to thank both ABCN, the Commonwealth Bank, Jacqui Rodgers and Melissa Shumak for another fabulous Program and opportunity.
