Applications open for Music Leaders Network 2024

The Music Leaders Network programme has opened applications for its 2024 cohort, running from September 2024 to January 2025. The scheme, which is open to women and people who identify as non-binary or trans with between 5 and 25 years of music industry experience, will welcome 12 participants with the aim of transforming their career development.

Led by Remi Harris MBE and Tamara Gal-On, the programme is the only UK leadership programme working to build a peer-to-peer network of mid-career women across the industry. Participants on the scheme will learn ‘to increase their visibility and realise their potential in an industry that is still male dominated’ and join a growing number of over 70 scheme alumnae.

Scheme leader Tamara Gal-On said: ‘The network is so important. It's woven throughout the whole programme. There are 12 people in each group and our hope is that those people will stay together for the rest of their careers and always have each other to call on for support. This network is making a difference in the music industry as a whole because the people that we've worked with are going on to mentor others and to lead in a compassionate and commercial way. They're having a ripple effect.’

Applications will close on 31 May. The founders will again provide discretionary bursaries to help with costs for self-employed participants and those working for charities. Online Q&As will be available on 14 March, 18 April and 14 May to provide a space for the prospective participants to talk to the programme leaders.
