Accelerate

The Accelerate program was created to "bridge the gap" in professional development opportunities for women and diverse professionals. It consists of comprehensive virtual courses with modules on topics like OKRs, business finance, career planning, and more. Built with busy professionals and caregivers in mind, each module can be completed in under two hours and there is no set timeline for completion. Participants who complete the program receive a certificate of completion and access to an ongoing network of industry professionals.

Training that transforms careers

There's a business case for increased investment in professional development: 45% of workers are more likely to stay in their role if they receive training and companies with comprehensive employee training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training.



These resources are even more important for women & diverse professionals who face a gender gap when it comes to business and financial literacy that can negatively impact their career trajectory. Investing in skills growth can support a more equitable & innovative work environment for all.
