Women’s Professional Development

Women face more challenges as they rise through the ranks in their careers, including getting promoted to leadership positions, according to the McKinsey report and the LeanIn study.

The Women’s Professional Development (CFG1500) course is designed to provide year 2, 3 and 4 female undergraduate students with knowledge and skills to succeed as a female in the workplace.

Through a design-thinking group project and hands-on training workshops conducted via e-learning and in person, students hone their critical thinking and innovation life skills. Students will also be mentored by senior female leaders and engage in peer learning through experiential activities, building their interpersonal skills whether in collaboration, communication, or networking.
