Empowered Educators

Empowered Educators is a leadership development program targeted at campus directors and deans to help them leverage core Deloitte practices that can bring about innovative reforms in the curricula and become better administrators. As knowledgeable administrators and visionaries, directors or deans can influence other educators to meet the real-world needs of business and create a ripple effect by reaching thousands of students. The program enables the campus directors to develop their personal brand and hone their ability to influence and build followership, and to build strong peer-to-peer professional networks.

With two years running, here’s a recap of the program so far:

• Year one: The sessions were based on the curriculum that is a part of Deloitte’s leadership development courses. It included brand and eminence, industry insight, identifying opportunities for collaboration, and sourcing channels.
• Year two: Was structured around the theme “Make your impact”, where conversations were centered around ‘Designing a learning ecosystem for Industry 4.0’
