They are able to obtain professional development by further building hard and soft skills in online workshops based on personal branding, public speaking, using Excel and putting together a career portfolio. The Empowerment Program also offers the opportunity for each participant to be paired with an industry mentor from our sponsors, where regular meetings will provide valuable insight into the industry.
