The Inclusive Product Management Accelerator (IPMA) is a tuition-free, twelve-week product management professional development program that broadens access to economic opportunity by bringing more diverse voices to the Product Management community who can inspire innovations that universally improve lives.
Sponsors support year-round programming for aspiring product managers from historically marginalized communities, offer professional development for their product managers, and build relationships with diverse talent.
Volunteers gain access to meaningful engagements with diverse talent and support a tuition-free program that develops a more diverse product management community.
Hire from a diverse group of experienced professionals trained by top industry professionals in inclusive design practices, key product management skills, and are ready to transition into product management.
The goal of the cohort program is for mid-career professionals from historically marginalized communities to get hired into their first product management role.
IPMA Fellows have a mentor who is personally invested in their success, have access to a knowledge base and a network of volunteers, and engage in weekly activities with a cohort over a 12-week program.
Discussions and workshops take place online on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30pm – 7pm PT. Participants are expected to attend all sessions.
Participants are selected based on their demonstrated potential to succeed as a product manager and to develop successful innovations that are inclusive to diverse audiences. The IPMA offers knowledge, connections, and a community of support empowering participants to excel in interviews and on the job.
