Female Future Leaders

The Immerse™ Female Future Leaders programme is dedicated to helping young women explore leadership. It includes a range of subjects, from STEM to business and public speaking.

Why is it important to study Female Leadership? Because the world’s demand for female leaders is increasing. The Frontiers in Psychology states that female leaders received praise for their outstanding leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three women stand out: Angela Merkel of Germany, Jacinda Ardern Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, and Tsai Ing-Wen of Taiwan. They received recognition because of the “care, empathy, and collaborative approach” they put forward.

Researchers from the Universities of Leicester and Glasgow affirm that companies with more than 30% female executives were more likely to surpass companies with lesser female executives.

Despite the data proving women’s leadership capabilities, they enjoy less pay and representation than men. Women working for Easyjet earn 63.6% less than men. Females working for HSBC bank make 51.3% less than the opposite sex.

When it comes to representation, only 1 in 3 entrepreneurs is female. And in 2022, only 15% of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies are women.

More effort is necessary to bridge the gap. As young women, it’s essential to learn vital leadership qualities to improve workplaces, organisations, and nations. What better way to hone your skills than to learn from expert university tutors alongside like-minded peers?

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is an 8% employment growth for Top Executives from 2020 to 2030. Resulting in 247,100 job openings yearly. For Management Occupations, there’s a 9% from 2020 to 2030. Opening up about 906,800 new jobs per year. Careers in Management include Human Resources, Food Service, Advertising, Computer and Information Systems, and School Principals.

In the UK, Project Managers and Executive Assistants are two of the Top 10 most in-demand jobs today.
