We are excited to launch THRIVE, our new Positive Action Career Development Programme.
The training has been built around the successful framework of EMPOWER, our award-winning Career Development Programme for Women, which has helped over 10,000 women advance their careers.
The THRIVE programme is designed to level the playing field enabling diverse talent to thrive in your organisation. This training programme is available as a three-month or six-month programme and can be delivered in a face to face or webinar format.
The programme has been designed following internal and external focus group sessions, our thanks to the external representatives from: Atkins, Arcadis, Balfour Beatty, the NHS CSO and Wates Group.

Participants will:

Participants will:
Throughout the programme, participants are supported to develop their presentation skills. In this final session, participants will be invited to deliver a short presentation to the rest of their peer group to share lessons and successes from the last six months.
“If you had told me two years ago that I would be here doing what I am doing and done what I have done I wouldn’t have believed you, It is difficult to quantify what the Skills 4 training has done for my career.”

“What really impressed us about Skills 4 was that they had managed to identify and address real issues that employees face in the workplace and provide tools for that; but not only that, they had also addressed the fact that they needed to give guidance to companies about culture.”
