The Aurora Programme is a leadership development programme organised by the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education for all people who identify as a woman. It was designed to help address the issue of the reducing numbers of women in senior posts in Higher Education. The Programme aims to enable a wide range of women in academic and professional roles to think of themselves as future leaders and to develop leadership skills and strategies.

What is the Aurora Programme?
Aurora is for women up to senior lecturer level (AC3) or professional services equivalent (SG8) who would like to develop and explore issues relating to leadership roles and responsibilities
Aurora addresses core areas associated with leadership success, including:
- Understanding organisations and the sector
- Developing leadership behaviours, skills and knowledge
- Identifying and overcoming barriers and obstacles
- Growing confidence and a leadership identity
- Building networks, coalitions and support processes
It takes a partnership approach with institutions and participants, providing an intervention that combines four development days, two action learning sets, in-house mentoring and self-directed study to provide learning with a more enduring impact.
