Black Leadership Programme

The Black Leadership Programme is your opportunity to meet like-minded people, upskill yourself and stand out from the crowd.

The programme is designed to empower second year undergraduate students of black heritage to gain confidence and become resilient leaders through a series of interactive events and community-building activities throughout the academic year.

The Black Leadership Programme is a collaboration between Nottingham Trent University and Nottingham Trent Students' Union.

As well as the skills to become an effective leader, successful applicants will get access to valuable events and opportunities including:

the opportunity to attend a launch and welcome event
a full-day workshop designed to develop a sense of community, belonging, empowerment and self-worth.
a further session to reflect on accomplishments and developments
the opportunity to network with peers, leaders and employers as well as the provision of a skilled mentor
an independent employability learning module.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help you stand out to employers post-graduation.

You will also receive a letter of achievement signed by the Vice-Chancellor of Nottingham Trent University acknowledging your participation in the programme.
