A warm Mancunian welcome to all my listeners. Presenting Season 6, Episode 8 of the #MeettheMancunian #podcast #mancunian #manchester #women #coaching #socialimpact #nonprofit #WomenEd. I'm Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe, your friendly host. In the eighth episode, the Meet the Mancunian podcast talks to Yasmin Ariff [https://www.linkedin.com/in/yasmin-a-6492b113b/], Career and Leadership Coach and Volunteer, Women Ed [https://womened.com/home] about supporting women to help them thrive in their careers. In addition to coaching women through career and leadership challenges, Yasmin specialises in delivering professional coaching apprentices in partnership with her brother through CVP Group [https://cvpgroup.co.uk/]. Yasmin also actively volunteers with Women Ed, a global grassroot movement that connects aspiring and existing women leaders in education and gives women leaders a voice in education. She offers free coaching to women leaders in the Women Ed community and trains up Women Ed coaches using the apprenticeship levy offering a 12-month coaching apprenticeship with cohorts in October 2023 and April 2024. Did you know: · CVP Group is partnering with #WomenEd to deliver the first funded training programme for aspiring coaches in England. Find out more about the Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship here [https://womened.com/blog/coaching-the-womened-way]. It is also open to women beyond England on a self-funded basis. · As noted by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), across Britain in 2016, the gender pay gap stood at 18.1%, the ethnicity pay gap at 5.7%, and the disability pay gap at 13.6%. These average figures disguise wide differences, with some groups experiencing far greater pay gaps than others. · In education, men typically earn more than women. The more senior the position, the wider the gulf becomes. Males earnt on average 2.4% more at classroom teacher level but 11.3% more (on average) than women headteachers.
