Pride Pathways

About this program

Pride Pathways: Future LGBTQ+ Leaders is a comprehensive talent development training program, specifically designed to prepare early and mid-career LGBTQ+ people for leadership.

The goal of the program is to set LGBTQ+ employees firmly on the path towards the next stage in their careers within their organisation. The program will contribute to the career progression of early and mid-career LGBTQ+ team members who have been identified as demonstrating high potential and a commitment to professional growth by their employers.

In addition, our program is designed to transform the organisational environment into one which fosters ongoing growth, progression, and diversity, with a solid understanding of frameworks and processes to ensure a pipeline of diverse leaders being developed and supported. We seek to reimagine what talent development programs can achieve.

This 5-month program combines in-person and online events and has been meticulously designed to address the distinct challenges and opportunities that LGBTQ+ employees and supportive organisations encounter.

Invest in leadership that mirrors the diversity of the world we live in. Embrace inclusive excellence with ACON’s Pride in Diversity, and lead the way in fostering a progressive, innovative, and inclusive corporate culture.
