The International Career Advancement Program (ICAP) brings together a small group of mid-career professionals from underrepresented groups with senior officials and policy-makers to spend one week discussing:

• Major international issues to be faced over the next decade

• Credentials and experiences normally sought for senior appointments

• Common career patterns of those achieving senior positions

• Particular obstacles faced by minorities seeking advancement and how to overcome them

• Programs or policies designed to increase diversity at senior levels
