Our Policy Leadership Cohorts empower emerging policy leaders to refine skills, share knowledge, and collectively advance impact.
Whether you seek personal growth, to deepen policy strategy, or coalition building, our cohorts offer opportunities to meet, learn, and build connections while fortifying leadership practices.
Cohorts are tailored to different contexts, needs and goals:
We run cohorts for emerging and practitioner policy leaders throughout the year, accessible through an open call. Those seeking to acquire and enhance policy skills, explore professional development opportunities in the EU policy context, and connect and learn from peers, express your interest here: aspiration.limesurvey.net/867263?lang=en
Strategy Design Cohorts provide creative learning opportunities for organisations seeking leadership growth, professional training, and programmatic development. Sessions are architected to empower organisations to "fish for themselves" by honing policy skills and refining organisational strategies.
Network Strategy Cohorts address timely needs by bringing together policy leaders to develop and strategise on key and pressing issues. Examples include crafting strategic communications, mapping effective enforcement tactics, and strategising on post-elections challenges.
Cohorts are typically organised in groups of 5-7 individuals, allowing for an intimate, participatory, and co-designed peer learning environment. Each cohort comprises six 90 minute sessions, held weekly.
For organisations and coalitions with unique needs, goals, and objectives, we offer customised cohorts. Connect with us at policyleadership@aspirationtech.org and we can take it from there.
My experience with the Policy Leadership Cohort exceeded my expectations. Having been part of several mentor programs in the past, I've never encountered one as tailored and personalised as this. The focus on real-life examples and the emphasis on peer exchange and co-design were incredibly informative and made the content much easier to apply in practice. What truly set this program apart was Raegan's ability to meet us where we were in our individual journeys.

The Policy Leadership Cohort was incredibly valuable overall. The breakdown of EU policy-making channels during the sessions was particularly effective for me. I had struggled to understand the structure before, but the cohort made it clear and it will undoubtedly be beneficial as I embark on this journey.
