YOUR GOALS AND THE LEARNING BEHIND THE PROGRAM
A shared experience with room for individual growth
FFI’s approach brings together Individual Leadership Plans and our bespoke curriculum. An ILP connects what you want to work on with your contribution to the team. The curriculum gives that work structure through activities, discussion, community experiences and reflection, shaped around the people taking part.
