Research shows that women tend to select their first job less strategically and don't usually negotiate it as well as they could. A highly targetted specialised training can bring significant improvement.

Brucelle currently works with different Belgian universities, training young women, ready to enter the work force. Guest lecturer Donatienne Brasseur provides Ambitions courses and workshops both to Master students and young professionals in executive education.

The primary objective of our training is to improve young women's strategic choice and negotiation of their first job.

Brucelle's Ambitions training sessions are designed to develop women's awareness of the present business culture and provide them with tools to play the game without discarding their feminine identity.

Our basic programme is formatted in 4 half-day sessions:
