WELD Pathway to Management Program for Women of Color – In Person Only – Columbus, Ohio

Based on McKinsey research, women are not equitably represented in top management because of the “broken rung” – women are less likely to receive their first promotion into management when compared to men.

The WELD Pathway to Management Program is a six-part, WELD member only/corporate member only program offered to women of color that will take a cohort of individuals through six core areas that will build leadership efficacy for the manager role:

• The Emotionally Intelligent Leader
• The Intersectional Leader
• The Relationship Builder
• The Executive Leader
• The Socially Responsible Leader
• The Healthy Leader
  

Taught by a diverse group of expert instructors with years of leadership experience in a wide range of industries, the WPMP-WOC takes a cohort through a rigorous experience that will build self-awareness, stretch their thinking and foster strong relationships over the course of the program.  Each module will be conducted through an intersectional lens of race and gender. The learning extends beyond that experienced in the classroom.  Each session requires pre-work, and case study approaches are used to inject problem-solving learning from real challenges in the workplace.  Upon graduation, the learning and relationship building continue after the formal program is completed.

There are two cohorts in 2025, both offered only in Columbus and in person:

• Winter
• Fall
