YKE Talent Programme 2026-2027

Want to grow but something keeps coming up?

Then the YKE Talent Programme is for you. By working on your growth objectives together with a dedicated coach, you will achieve this dot on the horizon. The YKE Talent Programme offers an intensive, customised one-year programme in which you and a KIVI coach will further define the growth targets of your Personal Development Plan, drawn up during the YKE Growth Programme. Together, you examine what you need to achieve your goals and plan clear milestones. In addition, five Masterclasses are offered that contribute directly to your personal growth. On the basis of these five coaching sessions and five Masterclasses organised annually by YKE, you will strengthen your personal growth.
