Participants receive full access to ULEAD's Career Architecture Program, a 10-hour, self-paced curriculum structured across three modules:- Self-awareness — identifying your strengths, growth areas, and the direction that aligns with both
- Practical toolkit — resume, networking, and a structured approach to the job search
- Resilience and confidence — tools to sustain momentum through the process
The program is fully funded and built by ULEAD, available at no cost to all participants.

Women represent just 22% of the AI workforce and 12% of AI researchers globally. In the green economy, companies with greater gender diversity in management reduced CO₂ emissions around 5% more since the Paris Agreement — yet women remain locked out of the leadership roles where these decisions are made. Women leave tech at 45% higher rates than men, with lack of career advancement as the primary driver.Places are limited to 3 participants per session.
