“An opportunity and a demanding program for those who are committed to their professional development”
The Women in Engineering and Management Program has an excellent teaching staff, both in human and in professional quality. Our day-to-day work is very functional and they have given us a 360° vision of general management. The entire academic team stands out for its enormous track record and business experience that they have shared with both in methodology, processes, tools and case studies as a learning method.
I would highlight the lectures given by leading and brilliant women, as they have served as an inspiration and an example to believing in women accessing managerial positions. This, together with the network of colleagues that we have created thanks to networking and sharing the program, are the two great differential values of the PMD.
The program has especially helped me to grow in executive management: to be a better leader, to apply different methods, to make better decisions, to apply it on a day-to-day basis, to have a better transversal vision, and to "put myself in the shoes" of someone with a higher position.
Studying and working at the same time is very much compatible, although it requires effort. You learn to look for quality time, to reprioritize, to be in a healthy "tension" because it's worth it. Reconciling family and professional life allows you to balance these, but it is important for there be organization, family support and a lot of personal sacrifice.
The program is demanding, but this is part of the demand we have for ourselves in our professional development. It's only 6 months and it compensates for everything. The truth is that the experience was great and I would blindly recommend it to all the women who are convinced that it is possible to lead from the most humanistic values, managing high-performance teams, influencing decision-making and setting trends in the next business steps of the companies in which they are present.

Objectives

Main objective

The objective of this training course is to encourage women engineers from different companies to assume managerial responsibilities of any type and dimension, with a multidisciplinary training perspective, strengthening the concepts of commitment, effort and responsibility and providing them with a global vision of the company, immersed in a time of digital revolution.

Specific objectives

• 1. Facilitate the acquisition and development of managerial skills and abilities for practical application, to generate conscious and responsible leadership and management knowledge that allows them to identify the specific needs of the organization and offer accurate diagnoses and valid solutions. Among the skills that are strengthened are self-confidence, leadership, teamwork, public presentations... enhancing all those skills that will help them be visible within their organization and, very specifically, personal brand, in which they are taught to draw up a structured strategy that allows them to bring out the best of themselves and to show it to others.
• 2. Enrich personal and professional development, enhancing teamwork and interrelation between the participants. Sharing personal experiences and observing that other women engineers in similar positions in different sectors are in a situation very similar to one's own strengthens the identification and cohesion of the group. "I am not alone" is worked on, generating greater self-confidence.
• 3. Focus on the strategic vision and find patterns and trends to understand the key role of technology in the company and society of the future, understanding the keys to these changes as a result of technological disruption. In the same way, the focus is placed on innovation and creativity, as essential axes for the generation of opportunities, the design of improvements and knowledge in detail of how the businesses of the different sectors of the economy are being transformed.
• 4. Establish contact with women engineers with high potential in positions close to management and who in the short future may carry out positions of responsibility in companies, enriching themselves by sharing, as well as knowing and learning from leading engineers in Senior Management positions with those who will reflect on the new management styles aimed at improving their results and change, and also on the different leadership styles. Women are generous leaders, who know how to control their stress and that of the organization; they are adaptive leaders, capable of seeing different realities and adapting to the context, we are more intuitive and emotionally intelligent; they are group leaders who achieve active team commitment, work communication and influence their team.
• 5. Demystify the limitations of the family environment: it is possible to reconcile and make it compatible with a director's role. We women place our own limitations on ourselves, many of us do not want to access positions of responsibility because we think that we will have to take time away from our family and dedicate informal time to work as an investment, such as going out to dinner with clients. Today, when change directs our lives, we must know that there are new styles of leadership that are different from the old ones and that these are possible. The leading women engineers included in the Program show us this.

Employability

The program will prepare you to be on the short list of your company's succession and, where appropriate, access a management position.
