Sponsorship is the rocket fuel that helps high potential employees to advance their careers. It requires an influential person in a senior position to advocate for and direct opportunities to a more junior member of the team.
While this is nothing new and most senior leaders will have benefited from this informally at some point in their career, Black professionals often lack these informal networks and support systems. Formal sponsorship programs aim to bridge this gap by empowering the next generation of leadership. This toolkit is designed to support you on that journey.
This toolkit contains two key sections:
Wherever you are in your organisation, these assets can help your leadership/I&D network kickstart your own sponsorship programme or enhance programmes already in operation.
This is an innovative sponsorship programme that brings a fresh perspective to sponsorship. Designed for mid-level Black professionals in the UK marketing industry, our aim is to reduce systemic barriers and accelerate the careers of promising talent. It is important to understand that sponsorship is not about correcting faults, it is about providing access and opportunity to groups that have been previously excluded. By supporting these communities, we can radically change our industry. We are empowering next generation leadership.
BRiM has is also delivering another cross-industry sponsorship programme for businesses to enrol mid-level Black employees and their senior sponsors. Based on content from the BRiM Sponsorship Toolkit, the programme will include full onboarding, monthly workshops, a community platform for participants to connect and post-programme reporting. Registrations for the September cohort are now closed, but you can register for the next cohort in March 2025. Please email inclusion@adassoc.org.uk or click here to learn more.
