Get ready for an epic career.
Programs built for ambitious young women ready to level up — whether you're launching a venture or building the power skills that get you hired and promoted. Career coaching comes with both.
Two paths, both with coaching built in.
Mentorship is no longer a separate sign-up — expert coaches are part of the program you join, whether you need help with job prep, interviews, or launching something of your own.
GWI Career Accelerator
Two standalone 5-week modules, one live hour a week, building the real-world power skills every employer is looking for — from time management to networking to handling tough conversations. Take either module on its own, in any order, whenever it fits your schedule — there's no requirement to do both or to take them back-to-back.
Whether you're stepping into your first job or planning your next move, you'll show up with confidence, clarity and career-ready tools.
GWI Innovation Academy+
Turn your big ideas into real-world results. In nine live classes, one hour a week, work with expert instructors to build your own project or business, connect with peers across the U.S., and sharpen your entrepreneurial mindset.
You'll walk away with a business plan, resume-ready experience and LinkedIn-worthy skills — plus the confidence to lead wherever you go.
The part that keeps working after graduation.
Both programs come with GWI Connect — mentors, opportunities, events and a national network of peers and alumni, on web, iOS and Android.
Coaching, included
One-hour sessions for fast, actionable advice and longer guided journeys for deeper goals — mentor matching and direct chat, part of your program.
Jobs & internships
Roles, scholarships and competitions from GWI's corporate partners in one feed.
Events & workshops
Sessions with corporate leaders and hiring managers, RSVP and reminders built in.
Alumni network
A searchable directory of peers, alumnae, mentors and staff you can reach for years.
2026–2027 start dates
Academy+ and Career Accelerator cohorts start on the dates below — live and online, one hour a week, US Eastern times. November 9 is a Career Accelerator–only start.
Good questions.
Which program is right for me?+
If you want to build or grow something of your own, choose Academy+. If you're preparing for the workforce or your next move, choose the Career Accelerator. Both include coaching, and plenty of students do one after the other.
Do I have to take both Career Accelerator modules?+
No. The two modules are standalone — each is 5 weeks, one live hour a week, and complete on its own. Take just one, take both, and take them in whichever order and whichever terms suit you; they don't have to be consecutive.
Is mentorship still offered?+
Yes — as part of your program rather than a separate enrollment. Career Accelerator students get career coaching sessions, Academy+ students get 1:1 coaching and mentor review, and everyone gets mentor matching and direct chat inside GWI Connect.
How does enrollment work?+
Reserve a place with a short form and checkout (scholarship code if applicable). Two weeks before your start date you receive class details and access instructions. You attend live online sessions, get regular updates, and finish with a digital micro-credential — Academy+ students are also invited to a live virtual graduation.
Fees and financial aid+
Tuition is on a sliding scale up to $995 based on financial need and covers professional coaches, technology, curriculum and all course materials. Financial aid is offered to US students from low-to-moderate income households — email ops@girlswithimpact.com to indicate need.
What equipment do I need?+
A computer or smart device with internet access for the live classes, a computer for weekly assignments, a webcam (preferable, not required), and a quiet place to attend class each week.
