Mission Include connects high‑potential employees with senior leaders from a different organisation and sector, creating powerful opportunities for growth.
Alongside their 1:1 mentoring relationship, participants take part in a nine-month structured learning journey, resulting in clear shifts in mindset, confidence and career momentum.
Independent research by Hult International Business School shows that Mission Include delivers meaningful outcomes for under‑represented talent. The programme builds confidence, reshapes senior leaders’ behaviours, and creates psychologically safe, honest conversations that rarely happen within organisations.
Through Mission Include organisations can confidently work within the UK legal framework to support and accelerate under-represented talent.
