Sprint – women’s development for undergraduates, post-graduates and researchers.

Sprint is the ground-breaking professional development course for undergraduates with a special version available to address the issues for post-graduate students and researchers.

The course will help women focus on their studies, develop them to be more visible, develop time management skills whilst giving techniques to overcome stress, and establish a great routine for better well being. It also allows them to sharpen their career goals, raise their aspirations and make the best use of all opportunities that present themselves.

For employers it provides a great opportunity to sponsor courses at universities to support young women to reach their full potential. By providing speakers, panellists and mentors throughout the course, it also creates an opportunity to showcase your organisation and attract future young talent.

Study: Many women focus on their studies at university, achieving results such as improved visibility, concentration and effectiveness in tutorials, better time management for revision and essay writing, less study stress, and improved confidence and self-esteem.

Career:
 Many women use the Sprint Development Programme to sharpen their career goals, raise their aspirations, explore possibilities and to take advantage of the work shadowing and coaching opportunities that are often offered by corporate sponsors.

Personal:
 Other women look to achieve results in their personal lives, for example working through difficult relationships, improving fitness and gaining a better (and healthier) study/life balance.

In practice, most participants achieve a mixture of all three categories of results through their experience of Sprint.

“I’ve learned that I should never take a second position when I can take the first. Men are trained to step up and women to step down. I want to step up.”
