Springboard is a leading UK-based women’s development programme designed by women, for women. The British Council initiated the programme to help Arab women to release their potentials and achieve success in both their personal and professional lives.

The programme has won several international awards. It has been running around the world for different organisations including universities, government departments, city councils and banks. Some of the participating organisations include Qatar Red Crescent, Ministry of Finance, Qatar University and Hamad Medical Corporation.

Hundreds of employers have sent their female staff on the Springboard Programmes and have benefited of their staff being highly motivated and much better at communication.

Through Springboard, I have learnt how to set my goals, and I’m going to achieve them in the near future. I have new-found aspirations full of optimism and self-confidence, and it has given me the motivation I needed to start."  - Participant from the Ministry of Social Affairs, Qatar.
