Case study

Powerlist Summer School

The annual Powerlist Foundation Summer Leadership Programme uses the best of Deloitte’s expertise from all its sectors, combined with the insight and inspiration of trustees from the Powerlist Foundation. It acts as a ‘seed bed’ for nurturing ambitious and conscientious young African and African Caribbean leaders; and what is most important to the Powerlist Foundation are the ways in which young people’s lives are transformed by taking part.

All students have some leadership experience or skills, but our programme enables them to strengthen and broaden those skillsby giving their leadership prospects a 'turbo-charge'. The lasting impact we have on young people is to help them develop into great leaders by teaching them what we've learned and encouraging them beyond the three-day programme as they take on new challenges.

“I feel positively about the Powerlist Foundation because the summer school was a great experience and interviewers are always impressed. Furthermore the Powerlist Foundation has enabled us to network with lots of other people our age without it feeling forced or fake. I am always pleased to receive emails from you and I think the fact that you continue to reach out and ask us how things are going sends us a very positive message.”
