The Centre of Learning has announced a new August workshop series and Autumn schedule, designed to help professional women prioritise their development and build the skills needed to thrive in today’s workplace.
The launch comes at a time when many women are balancing increasing workplace demands with personal responsibilities, leaving little time for their own professional growth. In response, the Centre of Learning has developed a suite of practical, expert-led workshops focused on delivering immediate value and real-world application to compliment their popular series of programmes taking place throughout Autumn.
For many professional women, continuous professional development (CPD) is often the first thing to be pushed aside. Between work, family, and supporting others, finding time to invest in yourself can feel impossible.
Yet research from The No Club shows women spend around 200 hours each year on non-promotable work. Essential tasks that keep organisations running but rarely contribute to career progression.
At the Centre of Learning, we believe professional development should fit around busy lives while delivering real impact. That’s why we’ve created a practical workshop series designed to help women build confidence, strengthen key leadership skills, and apply learning immediately in the workplace.
