Meeting the Needs of Women Managers: The UNB Training Programme

A brief overview is offered of a new executive development programme for women, sponsored by the Canadian Federal Government and developed and operated at the University of New Brunswick. The programme is unique in many respects, most particularly since it allows on-the-job practice and feedback over a ten month period. Special efforts have also been made to provide for the skills most needed by women and to help women establish networks and close peer relationships. While the programme is still being tested and validated, it appears to have got off to a strong start.
