The programme open to students, graduates and already working career African women is organised under the WofHof Initiative scheme called, Women In Leadership and Career Empowerment Programme (WILCEP) Africa. The partnership and collaboration with reputable schools and corporate bodies is to effectively mentor younger generation of women leaders in the maritime, aviation, finance, oil and gas, allied sectors of the economy as well as political leadership.
The co-founder and a board of trustee member of MMS WofHof Initiative, Mr. Kingsley Anaroke, said, “We are selecting graduates, students and working-career African women for this unique mentorship programme to make careers in any of the listed career fields. We are match-making the mentees with mentors under the WILCEP Africa of the WoFHoF Initiative.
Mentees will have the rare opportunity of having a one-on-one mentorship guide from the mentor in the chosen career. We have a pool of mentors as our MMS Hall of Famers, who are proudly women of unquantifiable pedigree, women who have risen to the top of their careers and are willing to show the way to the younger women. The registration for candidates, which is on-going online is expected to end on March 20th 2017”.
