Springboard is like having a new window cut in an existing wall – you see everything in a different light and reassess the significance of things. Participant, University of Cambridge

BP was the first company to use Springboard in Australia in 1992. Full of practical ideas and skills that work and, unlike other workshops, they stay with the women who have participated as the women have taken responsibility for their own changes and futures.
Our company has a long history of using the Springboard program Few programs are available today which provide the same ‘A-ha’ liberating experience as that offered by Springboard. For this reason and more, Boral Limited will continue to offer this program as one of its key developmental activities.
Springboard has been successful in encouraging the women to reassess their lives, both business and personal, and equipping them to make whatever changes they decide. It has also enhanced the communication between the employees and management.
