Becoming an academy partner

The Circle Academy is available to all mid level female professionals looking to become the next generation of industry leaders. Applicants cannot already be part of a structured training scheme such as an apprenticeship or graduate programme.

The Circle Academy is UK wide but our programme and events are all London based so please do take this into account when submitting your application.
