We Are Your Social Impact and Talent Pipeline Partner
We connect your organisation with the next generation of diverse leaders while building your team's leadership capabilities and inclusive behaviours.
The Diverse Leaders Network connects your businesswith ambitious young people from underrepresented backgrounds at the earliest stage of their careers. We offer three ways to get involved: event participation that puts your brand in front of the next generation, leadership and careers development through structured mentoring, and corporate volunteering days that build your team's empathy, communication skills and inclusive behaviours.
How It Works
Awareness: Insight Days and Events
Position your brand as an employer of choice by engaging our network of ambitious young people through events and insight days.
Ability: Leadership and Careers Development
Match your employees with young people aged 17–24 for monthly mentoring sessions that build confidence, skills and career knowledge.
Access: Apprenticeships and Work Experience
Access a pre-vetted cohort of motivated, work-ready candidates from underrepresented backgrounds ready for your apprenticeship programme.
It has been an incredibly positive and unique way for our staff to develop their leadership skills, enhance their inclusive behaviours and gain different perspectives by working with and learning from young people from diverse backgrounds. Many mentors commented that they felt as if they were being mentored, not the other way around. The impact on everyone involved has been profound.
