SistersIN

We are delighted to be part of the SistersIN leadership programme again this year, an 8-month development journey for sixth form girls to help build their confidence and broaden their career perspectives. The SistersIN mission is to ‘enable, empower and develop female pupils in education to become the leaders of tomorrow; to help them discover their full potential and open new possibilities for their professional journeys by building leadership capability and confidence.’ The programme delivers leadership development training, mentorship from female business leaders, job shadowing opportunities, project leadership experience and leadership masterclasses and is facilitated by schools in collaboration with leaders and businesses across Northern Ireland.
