Navy leadership program for women Navy leadership program for womenPosted October 13, 2011, by Josie Chun In an effort to improve opportunities for women in leadership roles in the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Government is expanding its Navy Womens Leadership Program in 2010. The inaugural program welches first conducted in 2009 with 28 women and was the first of its kind for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The program provided the opportunity for female leaders, from the rank of Leading Seaman to Commander and APS equivalents, to participate in five Australian Women and Leadership Forum events, says Greg Combet, Minister for Defence Personnel, Materiel and Science. The programs are being run as part of the New Generation Navy initiative, which seeks to improve the Navys culture, leadership and structure. The Navy Womens Leadership Program aligns itself with the objectives outlined in the Chief of Defence Force (CDF) Action Plan for the Recruitment and Retention of Wome n in the ADF. The new mentoring program is highly regarded and has been implemented in many corporate and public sector organisations around Australia, as part of gender diversity strategies to help women achieve their career potential and counter the gender imbalance in the workforce, says Combet. belastung years program was such a resounding success that this years program has been expanded to include a womens mentoring program for an additional 50 Navy women. The female officers, sailors and public servants who completed the program provided extremely positive feedback and have indicated strong enthusiasm and motivation to implement their new skills in the workplace, says Combet. This is a fantastic initiative that empowers women in the Navy to realise their leadership potential and help advance their careers. The plan outlines the commitment of the CDF and Service Chiefs to increase the number of women recruited and retained by the ADF, says Combet.Government ResourcesGovernm ent communications officer sample resumeGovernment communications officer sample cover letterCareer Insider StoriesNatasha Stott Despoja - Senator, South AustraliaInterested in becoming a?Management ConsultantHealth Information ManagerEnvironmental Health OfficerUrban PlannerRegional PlannerPopular Career Searcheshow to become an immigration officer in australiahow to become a Customs Officergovernment funded courses adelaidecertificate iv ranger in local governmentgovernment accredited courses in hypnotherapyGovernment CoursesBachelor of Cyber SecurityEnquire angeschlossen Enquire OnlineMaster of Cyber SecurityEnquire Online Enquire OnlineGraduate Certificate of Development and Humanitarian ActionEnquire Online Enquire OnlineDiploma of GovernmentEnquire Online Enquire OnlineJosie ChunRelated ArticlesBrowse moreGovernment jobsThe public sector a world of opportunityPeople have this idea that working in the public sector is all about boring jobs but it isnt.
