LEADERSHIP IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR WOMEN & ALLIES
Elevate your career, enhance your visibility, and shape your industry!
Amplify your impact with Wentworth Institute of Technology's Leadership in the Built Environment (LBE) Academy, a five-week professional development opportunity for women leaders and allies in construction, engineering, facilities management, real-estate, architecture, and infrastructure. This program combines self-discovery and skill-building, to enhance leadership, activate an entrepreneurial mindset, optimize strengths, and drive strategic value. Participants undergo a unique development journey that builds a senior leader persona, advances in-context capabilities, and broadens networks for workplace and industry advancement.
THE LBE ACADEMY FRAMEWORK:
Participants learn from diverse faculty experts, seasoned coaches, and industry role models through curated content sessions, experiential learning labs, accessible resources, and a self-identified leadership challenge project. Candid context-relevant conversations harness the collective strength of community to provide essential power skills for the 21st century.
What You Gain:
The LBE Academy is open to all and is especially relevant to mid-career women professionals and allies, including directors and vice presidents, who are ready to create impact in construction, engineering, facilities management, architecture, real-estate, and infrastructure.
Schedule Features:
Upon completion of the course, you will earn 3.2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and a Wentworth verified digital credential/certificate of completion to showcase on their resume and online channels. A CEU is not an academic credit; however, it is a nationally recognized standard of documenting the successful completion of non-degree professional training. One CEU is equivalent to ten instructional hours.
Facilitators, Speakers, and Coaches
Learn through dynamic content sessions, lived experiences, and small group peer coaching featuring leaders and content experts from across the industry. Our 2025 featured guests will be announced soon!
