Leadership and Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme 

The LEAP programme develops business, entrepreneurial and leadership skills through launching social enterprise projects to target key global issues, based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals from the United Nations. International and local students develop their own ideas into a business pitch. Global experts act as coaches, mentors and guides, before becoming investors, ready to provide real-life funding after the final pitch. 

Our commitment is to run an introspective, supportive programme, which teases out different types of leadership styles, embraces female empowerment, and helps students equip themselves to lead in a world which they positively shape.

" As a father of girls and founder of a female centric tech business I feel passionate about equal pay and opportunities for women, I was therefore honoured to take part in LEAP. The programme was inspirational." Aaron Chatterley,  Founder of Feel Unique.

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to participate in this program becauseit was an incredible opportunity that not many young women have accessto. I am extremely interested in entrepreneurship, and this program has taughtme a lot about leading a team, collaboration, and starting and running abusiness. Jersey was the perfect location for this incubator because I felt safeat all times to explore the island and take advantage of its resources.“
