Our professional programming provides opportunities for you to learn and grow while connecting with our community.

We also offer leadership development programs and highlight valuable partner events.

Leadership Development Programs

TAP Network partners with Leadership Development Program experts to offer leaders at our member companies the opportunity to learn and grow alongside their tech sector peers. These programs are customized for the member cohort and are offered a couple of times per year at a preferred rate. Our leadership development programs enable tech companies to train one, two or even ten leaders at a time, without bearing the cost of hosting in-house training. Equip your leaders with the skills to inspire, connect with, and bring out the best in employees.

We have a Spring Leadership Development Program with Kwela starting soon! Program details are on our calendar of events page here.
