Aurora Female Leadership-Development Programme

Overview

Aurora is a leadership development programme for female staff in academic and professional services roles, including CCSG and Estates. It is aimed at those who are ambitious for a career in the HE sector and who would like to develop and explore issues relating to leadership roles and responsibilities. Typically, participants will be in roles where they have a significant degree of autonomy and will be responsible for leading discrete areas of work. As such, the programme is most suited to colleagues who are in roles at grades 6 to 8; or in Research/Teaching Fellow, Senior Research/Teaching Fellow or Assistant Professor roles. Participants should have the endorsement of their line manager and Head of Department when applying for the programme.

The Aurora programme enables participants to:

  • Learn tools, techniques and strategies from a team of leadership experts, guest speakers and online resources.
  • Develop leadership skills through experiential processes, reflection and conversations.
  • Network with delegates through live online development days with interactive breakout sessions and two action learning set meetings.
  • Connect with a UK-wide network and niche groups through a members-only group.
  • Be supported by a Warwick mentor.

The Aurora programme is an external programme which is managed and delivered online by Advance-HE. Please see the Advance-HE Aurora webpages for further details of the programme.
