WIG Graduate Network

bridge across thames picture

WIG has traditionally provided a range of high level networking opportunities and activities for senior executives in both the public and private sector. Through a new initiative, we are keen to ensure that future senior leaders are exposed to the benefits of cross-sector networking earlier on in their careers.

The evening of the 21 June 2010 saw the successful launch of WIG's Cross-Sector Graduate High Potential Network and we invite graduates from member organisations to join our group on Linkedin so that we can communicate future activities - and most importantly to hear from you how you would like to continue to work together.

Speakers have included:

Tim Kiddell - Speechwriter to the Prime Minister, Cabinet Office
Ann Watt - Deputy Director, Social Exclusion Task Force, Cabinet Office
Natalie Ceeney - Chief Executive and Chief Ombudsman, Financial Ombudsman Service

Planned activities:

  • Cross-sector mentoring - why not be mentored by an executive from another sector?
  • Cross-sector action learning
  • Speaker briefings (breakfast and evening) with key leaders and innovators from across the sectors sharing their views
  • Cross-sector placements to experience how the other sector operates (anything from 5 days to up to 3 months; part-time or full-time).
