Youths are the future leaders...but are they prepared to lead?
The answer to this forms the focus of the LEAP initiative. Participants acquire understanding of leadership skills through examples as well as interactive exercises, games and breakout discussions that are offered over a one-year period and are designed to change mindsets and behavior. LEAP motivates and inspires participating youth to take the platform of leadership whereever they may find themselves.
Accenture values this aspect of inclusion and diversity, as LEAP makes it possible for the unique contributions of individuals to make a difference in society and the world. Helping to make this happen is why Accenture partners with LEAP Africa. The young people in the programme are not necessarily all from any one background and after a year of experience in the programme they are armed with skills they can use to improve their environments. In addition, there is a continuous coaching method that ensures that what they have learned from the world-class leadership examples is expressed in their leadership style.
