iEngage Your Career

iEngage my Career is a mentoring programme run in conjunction with Noggin. The programme ran for the first time in 2021 and the feedback was very positive.

The programme is fully funded by the WCI for 12 places in each programme. Members of the WCI get first refusal with remaining spaces being offered across the market.

This programme is designed for participants who are between the early stages of their career and a senior position. The important qualifier is how long you have been in your current role and how you feel about that. If you have been in role for a at least a couple of years and are unsure about the action to take to move into your next role, then this course is for you.
