Springboard programme is a winning powerful programme which has demonstrated its capacity to empower women to accomplish their goals, develop their skills and achieve better positions in both their professional and personal lives. Designed by the springboard consultancy, it targets women of all ages and from all backgrounds to build the skills and knowledge to achieve their goals.

The British Council is delighted to be offering the springboard programme. We have developed Arabic materials, Arabic speaking trainers and introduced contextually appropriate case studies and examples to ensure maximum benefit and better impact.

What are the results?
Women assess themselves, set goals and then develop the practical skills and self-confidence needed to achieve these goals. Thousands of women in all walks of life and in different patterns of employment have opened up all sorts of opportunities for themselves, following the programme:

Outcomes that can be realistically expected are:

• More self confidence and motivation
• Ability to set and achieve clear goals
• Positive attitude
• Communicate more assertively and effectively
• Present a positive image
• Improve your work/life balance

What does the programme consist of?

The programme consists of five major components:

1. Four workshops; the participants should attend them all
2. A special Workbook packed with practical activities and ideas
3. Positive role models; there will be a guest speaker on each workshop who will share with the participants her success story
4. Support backup
5. Networking with other women
