How it Works
CAP provides a platform for enhancing key leadership and development skills and utilizes a proven methodology to implement them. Participants often describe CAP as a transformative experience that translates to bottom line performance. As an Employer Partner, you will have the option of participating in a multi-firm environment or a single-firm environment that enables a more customized experience tailored to your company’s unique needs.
Participants, once nominated for the program by their manager or a senior leader, benefit from executive coaching, personalized assessments and action plans, business insights from industry leaders, and powerful interactions with their executive peers. CAP is tailored to the experience of underrepresented talent, but is open to all, and participants typically have at least 10-15 years of experience.

It also helps with navigating corporate environments and understanding the bar for continued advancement.
