About the Leadership Programme
The underrepresentation of people of colour at corporate leadership level in most companies and organisations is well documented, static with no progress and increasing disproportion. The AFBE leadership programme is designed to help address this issue, by providing experienced professionals from BME backgrounds with the awareness and tools they need to progress to leadership positions in their career, organisations or as entrepreneurs.
"AFBE-UK's programme will not only inspire a new generation of industry leaders in Aberdeen but will also help break down barriers in the field of engineering and encourage more inclusivity in the sector."
~Councilor Angela Taylor,
Aberdeen City Council Education
