Who is the Pathway programme for?
The programme is for those seeking structured support to achieve board success, or who feel they would benefit from additional accountability. Through a combination of peer-led and expert-led sessions, the programme addresses the key elements necessary to achieve board success, whether you are starting out or looking to develop your portfolio.
The programme includes:
- Monthly focus topics: Each month, we delve into essential areas such as CV preparation, applications, interviews, and more.
- Peer group catch-ups: Between sessions, participants meet with their peer group to review progress, share experiences, and maintain motivation.
What is the difference between the pathways?
- Pathway 1 is for those of you who are starting out. This programme is ideal for those of you exploring NED roles for the first time - to help you develop your strategy, prepare for your first applications and set you up for success.
- Pathway 2 is for those of you who are developing your NED career. This is the right pathway for those of you with one or two roles (possibly pro bono) who are ready to build the knowledge and network needed for more competitive, paid roles or a Chair position.
How long does it last?
It runs from January to June inc.
What is the format?
Each month includes:
- Expert-Led Sessions: Dive into essential topics with insights from a Nurole team member (1 session per month). - last Wednesday or Thursday of each month for 6 months.
- Peer Check-Ins: Smaller group discussions to review progress, exchange insights, and stay on track (1 session per month). The middle Wednesday or Thursday of each month) ie 2 weeks after the webinar sessions.
- Private Online Community: Gain access to a dedicated online space for your cohort to share learnings, collaborate, and stay connected between sessions.
Is it virtual or in-person?
The programme is held virtually.
How do I know which group I will be in?
Groups will be shared on the first session when we will introduce you all.
How do you assign groups?
Groups are allocated randomly but based on your NED experience so you will be in a group of peers who are at a similar stage to you.
How large are the peer groups?
Peer groups will be around 10 people in total on the assumption that not everyone will be able to join every peer group. We hope this will mean there will be no fewer than 5 people in your peer group each time you meet.
I can't make all the sessions - should I still join the Programme?
All the expert-led sessions will be recorded so you can watch them back if you miss them. Peer group sessions with not be recorded as they are more free flow conversations.
