Leadership development and employability opportunity for students with disabilities

Frontrunner is a student leadership course delivered by international leadership development organisation Common Purpose.  

The course is designed to develop the disabled leaders of tomorrow.

What is Frontrunner?

The course explores leadership by taking you behind the scenes of a city to find out how it works. You will visit an incredible range of organisations and their leaders across different sectors (many of
whom will be potential employers), explore local issues, how leaders are tackling them and the value of diversity in the workplace. Our long-standing relationships with these organisations ensure your experience is authentic; and the networks that you form will be long lasting and directly beneficial to your transition into work after university.

What will you get out of it?

• Accelerate your leadership skills
• Increase your employability by adding value to your CV
• Develop communication and presentation skills
• Develop your ability to adapt and thrive in multiple environments
• Collaborate with your peers and form long lasting networks
• Foster an ability to work with senior leaders

Who could you meet?

Participants on the course have met leaders from organisations such as:

• EY
• Unilever
• Local Authorities
• NHS
• The Observer
• BBC
• Prince’s Trust
• YMCA
• UnLtd
