RADIATE Program
Building confidence, capability, and connection
U2030's flagship year-long leadership program for women in utilities, combining development curriculum, mentoring, peer networks, and immersive learning experiences.
Leadership built for transformation
Women in utilities often navigate leadership journeys without the networks, mentorship, and developmental support that accelerate growth. RADIATE was created to change that.
The program provides a structured path for emerging and mid-career women leaders to build confidence, develop critical capabilities, and form lasting connections with peers facing similar challenges.
Through a combination of curriculum, coaching, and community, RADIATE prepares women to lead through the transformation reshaping our industry.
