Business mentoring and support programmes

Women in leadership programme

Harrow is home to a vibrant community of women who lead, build, inspire, and make valuable contributions to their firms and organisations.

The Women in Leadership Apprenticeship programme was launched to provide support and training to women entrepreneurs, managers and employees, to become stronger leaders.

Fully funded by The London Borough of Harrow, it is designed to invest in you: the women shaping our borough through business, community work, and everyday leadership.

The programme will be delivered by Instep
