Access. Knowledge.
Through our partnership with Accenture, WVL provides access to the Learning to Earning online self-paced curriculum, in addition to interactive sessions on budgeting, networking, navigating career change, leadership, resilience, and more. Women Veterans Lead workshops bring transitioning active-duty women and the women veteran community together with women leaders in business and academia and provide a forum through which attendees gain access to and increase their knowledge of local community, business, and academic resources.
Women Veterans Lead Alumni Spotlight
“Professionally, I’ve learned how to better my executive presence, set clear actionable goals, and set boundaries and how to hold myself and those who I work with accountable for those goals”
“This program is designed to help you grow and develop and everyone here wants you to succeed”
“In the military so much of who we are is tied to our rank, our responsibilities, or the mission. This program emphasized the importance of rediscovering and reshaping myself while pivoting into this next chapter.”
“The cohort also fosters a very strong sense of sisterhood for women veterans interested in investing in our professional and leadership development.”

Success
“There’s something empowering about a room full of successful women. We are learning to be one voice; when one woman is successful, we are all successful!”
–Kathy, WVL Mentor
“Thank you for focusing your support on female veterans—we are the last group of women to ask for help and support out of all women. We were taught never to show or admit to any weakness, but we need to learn self-care and support. This was a very empowering and motivating event.”
– Army veteran, WVL attendee
