The leadership academy is powered by professional workshops

Through a series of workshops, Female Leadership Academy will provide the attendees with a comprehensive leadership toolbox and take them through a variety of subjects. The workshops are among other subjects, personal branding, negotiation, and leadership embodiment.

The workshops will be hosted in collaboration with prominent businesswomen in a variety of fields within the public and private sector. This is to expose the attendees with different role models and inspiration to grow their individual career. Former speakers include among others Helle Thorning Schmidt who has been Prime Minister of Denmark, Mia Wagner known from the danish version of Dragons Dent (”Løvens Hule”), Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen the Mayor of Holbæk Municipality, and Pernille Erichsen from Dansk Industri

The FLA alumni network enables the next generation of leaders

Female Leadership Academy also support the formation of informal FLA groups, a networking group where you can meet up on your own premises. Being a part of the Academy also makes you a part of the FLA network where all members will benefit from being exclusively invited to leadership and network events going forward. The FLA network is a key building block in our community of the next generation of leaders.

We wish to show that everyone can shoot for the stars, by supporting motivation and developing skills, and by addressing the barriers that many women encounter when seeking career and leadership. The workshops combined with the close network of like-minded talented students provide you with the opportunity of getting a head start in your career.

Increasing diversity through value adding partnerships

The student academy is hosted in collaboration with our main official partner KPMG. KPMG shares the mission of increasing diversity in top management with us and they describe themselves as “pioneers at heart”. They make a positive impact on their clients and society by having the courage to be different and exploring new territories, working shoulder to shoulder with their clients. KPMG also makes a great effort when it comes to inclusion and diversity, both globally and locally with small KPMG communities focused on gender, LGBT+ and mental health, for instance. The main goal of those initiatives is to ensure equality for all members of the KPMG network and the overall society.

The Student Academy is open to all students across Denmark enrolled in a higher education who seek to empower female leadership and want to develop their leadership skills.

The Student Academy is hosted once every semester and hosts five to six workshops that seek to empower and inspire female leadership skills. The Academy enrolls 30 students each semester.

Every participant of the Student Academy must attend a minimum of 5 out of 6 workshops to claim their Female Leadership Academy certificate.

Every semester we receive a very high amount of applications, whereas the limited spots also leads to many rejections are given to highly qualified students. Therefore, we also do urge everyone to apply multiple times and state it in applications to increase chances of getting accepted.
