Trailblazers Starters Surgeries
Trailblazers Starters Fellowships - Applications for the 2017-18 are open!
What is a trailblazer? An innovative leader in a field; a pioneer.
A person who blazes a trail for others to follow through unsettled country or wilderness. Trailblazers features two strands of development, which alternate annually:
Starters for first time applicants in the early stages of their careers, who demonstrate creative spark, ambition and leadership potential; and Champions for past recipients of the fellowship who have demonstrated strong leadership and entrepreneurial spirit.
Each participant receives
- A bursary towards a project of their choice (£2000 for Starters and £3000 for Champions*)
*Champions must seek match funding or support in kind of a minimum of £1500. - A tailored development programme including training, career coaching, mentoring and peer learning
- A range of networking opportunities
- An opportunity to share their learning in a public showcase
