A New Path Setting New Professional Directions

Many professional women reach a pivotal point in their lives, often driven by the desire to reenter the workforce after taking time off or by the need to reenergize a career after working in the same field for several years. While their circumstances may differ, these women share one common concern: they no longer are growing professionally. To address this challenge, Harvard Business School (HBS) Executive Education offers A New Path: Setting New Professional Directions. This life-changing program not only helps you redefine your career vision, but also facilitates your personal and professional growth.

What You Can Expect
This weeklong offering is designed for professional women who are looking to rejuvenate their careers, strengthen their competitive skills, and explore and define new career directions. A New Path is appropriate for "on-rampers" who are contemplating a return to the workforce after a significant period away, and for currently employed professionals who seek the skills, vision, and strategy to take their careers in a different direction.

Your Course of Study
The program includes interactive cases in accounting, finance, strategy, leadership, and marketing, as well as exercises and workshops that focus on entrepreneurship, negotiations, and career development. By working with coaches and teams, you will create customized, action-oriented plans that lead to new career decisions that bring about professional and personal fulfillment.

Who Is Right for the Program
The program is designed for women with significant professional experience who are seeking to return to the workforce, recharge their careers, or take their professional lives in a new direction.
