FOCUS Training is pleased to offer a limited number of scholarships in each cohort to support the growth and development of leaders. Through this partnership, participants are able to receive a scholarship that covers the full tuition for a seat in our Accelerate or Elevate Institute™. This program is driven by our commitment to equity & diversity. We know that not everyone has the same access to leadership training opportunities, especially in some fields. We want to play a role in bridging that gap and making leadership development more accessible to all.
“This program is beyond beneficial. Even topics that you feel you have a good grasp on, this provides clarity and breaks things down in a way that is easy to understand. Also being able to talk through topics with other peers in small breakout groups was a vital and impactful part of the experience.”
