The       Founded in August 2019 by Stephanie Lartey and Zoë Mabo, we believe
          that we owe it to the next generation coming up behind us to equip
          them with the skills they need to become the leaders of tomorrow. To

Doceo
          achieve this we aim to instil in our students a work ethic and love of
          learning that will be with them for life. We know that growth doesn’t
          happen in one place, or with one formula. Growth doesn’t happen

Mission
          overnight, it happens over time, it takes dedication, nurturing and a
          mindset that embraces the process.

          We are on a mission to champion continuous growth, to provide every
          student with opportunities, resources and practical knowledge to
          determine their own future. Our story has only just begun.

Programme Overview
                                                                                                                         1

The Aspiring Leaders Programme, run in partnership with professional services firm EY, is a 6 month long personal
development coaching and mentoring programme for students in years 10 to 13. There are 20 spaces available on each
cohort. This programme is designed to develop soft skills through practical teaching and interactive solo and group
assignments. To achieve this the students will have 12 hours of group coaching over the course of the 6 months. In
addition to this, the students will receive 1-1 mentorship from an EY Professional.

There are two personal development streams on the programme, split into smaller modules:
     1.   Business professional stream: Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, Personal Branding, and Communication
     2.   Effective growth stream: SMART Goals, Productivity, Wellbeing, Communication

Students apply to their stream of preference and are allocated to a stream on a first come first serve basis. Students
will be assigned an EY mentor at the beginning of the programme. They will meet with their mentor on a monthly basis
for a 30-minute mentoring session over Microsoft Teams, during which they’ll be able to get to know more about their
mentor’s career journey, ask any questions they may have and explore their personal career questions.
2
Each module on this stream will take place over a two week period. The Personal development coaches for each
module will provide 3-4 hours of teaching split over two sessions. In between the two sessions coaches will assign a
solo or group task for students to apply the content learnt.

Applications for the 2021 -2022 Aspiring Leaders Programme will open on the 4th of September and close on the 30th
of September. The programme will officially start on the 16th of October with a virtual induction.

All students of the programme will be added to a Telegram group where they will have access to their fellow peers on
the programme, mentors and coaches. This space is provided for students to stay informed, ask questions, share
insights, ideas and network.

The programme will officially end on the 5th of August with a closing ceremony. During this ceremony we will wrap up
the programme, give out awards and hopefully facilitate a fun group activity (provided there are no government
restrictions due to COVID).
