Residential programs

Several carefully designed, fully residential programs (Monday – Friday) are held each year, supported by online introductory and wrap up sessions.

The professional WATTLE Program is designed for professional staff at HEW 9-10 level, who aspire to be in leadership positions which involve significant budget and people responsibility for university or faculty-wide service/support divisions or units. For example, directors or managers of student administration, student services, facilities management, international, communications and marketing, student recruitment, human resources, legal services, university librarian, faculty managers, or school managers.

The academic WATTLE Program is designed for academic staff at associate professor or professor level who aspire to be in leadership positions including heads of schools or departments, associate deans, chairs of major university committees, directors of research centres or principal investigators on major research projects, and ultimately pro vice- chancellor or deputy vice-chancellor roles.

The programs empower participants to reflect on their own careers by hearing from inspirational leaders and discussing with them the known inhibitors of career progression for women.
