Leaders of Tomorrow
Leaders are made, not born.
What is the program?
A 25-hour transformational leadership training program for Nova SBE students, powered by Nova Skills Association.
People spend a great part of their lives in the workplace and for many it is a source of discontentment. As our vision of leadership is a transformational one – we believe great leaders inspire and care about the people they serve – we started this project hoping that it allows students to contribute to a world where work is meaningful, for everyone.
3 Domains, 9 Sessions

Step 1: If you wish to be considered you must fill in the application form, which contains questions about yourself and it will give us an indication of who you are and if you fit the model to be a participant.
Step 2: If successful, you could be invited to an interview with our Project Managers, depending on your application form.
You will have to pay an exorbitant fee of … 0€!
No, we are not kidding! We believe everyone should have access to learning and to develop themselves while at university. We know the student life is not the easy life when it comes to money, therefore we want to make sure everyone has the possibility to experience something like this by not charging anything for the program.
Interesting, right?
