Inside every great science, technology and engineering company are hundreds of women just waiting to lead. So what are we waiting for?
The need for science and technology-oriented companies to develop and retain talented women for executive leadership positions has never been greater. The problem is, most scientists and engineers are trained to be, well, scientists and engineers, not business leaders. But as more women take on highly visible management roles in all areas of the industry, they are turning to specialty resources like Smith College Executive Education to help them develop their skills - as managers, process owners, project champions, members of strategic planning teams, leaders of virtual or global working groups, and even future CEOs. Welcome to the new frontiers of science!
From Specialist to Strategist: Business Excellence for Women in Science, This program is a management development program for women four to ten years into their careers who are poised to assume higher-level management or leadership positions. This rigorous program ensures that the women who attend come away with a strong understanding of business and leadership fundamentals, knowledge of their own strengths and skill gaps, and most importantly, access to the mentoring and coaching from other women leaders they need to realize their leadership potential.
Next Generation Bioscience Leaders This first-of-a-kind, all-women executive business program provides high potential female managers in the life sciences industry the opportunity to learn from and network with women holding senior leadership posts in pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies.
NEW!! - Directing Innovation: Business Acumen for Women in Science, Technology, and Engineering An Advanced Management program for women who are in position to take on a greater scope of responsibility in a science, technology or engineering organization. You have the skills that got you this far, but do you have those that will take you to the top? Through hard work and persistence you have achieved much success, but you know there is still more. To be a world class executive in the industry you must continue to grow and develop your ability to influence and have authority. This program is for women who have significant impact on setting the business direction and managing profit & loss responsibilities. Women who attend will have managed cost centers, know how to generate revenue, drive innovation, and have the experience of leading cross-cultural and cross-functional global teams. They stand out in their organization as today's leaders and tomorrow's CEO's.
A partnership program between Smith Executive Education and the Society of Women Engineers. This program will be held at the University of Chicago's Gleacher Center. |
