to go beyond technical skills that help them excel in the early

networks.
The program will bring together a bouquet of ideas and skills to
coach them on how to successfully navigate key career
transition points, introduce them to various perspectives of
management, an interdisciplinary approach to decision

thinking.
Participating women will also explore how they could take
initiative, tap into and leverage their personal power to
manage, influence and inspire individuals and enhance their
