Women in Successful Careers (WISCAR) celebrated the graduation of the fourth cohort from its WIN 3 Mentoring Programme on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at Ebonylife Place in Victoria Island, Lagos. The ceremony marked the conclusion of a rigorous three-month program designed to empower professional women to excel in their careers. Participants were guided by experienced mentors who equipped them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to pursue senior leadership roles and launch impactful businesses.
The WIN 3 Mentoring Programme is a key initiative within the WIN-with-WISCAR framework, specifically tailored for women with over ten years of professional experience. The program addresses critical competency gaps, enhances strategic skills, and prepares participants to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment. By focusing on personal mastery, leadership excellence, and workplace effectiveness, the WIN 3 Programme accelerates the career progression of seasoned female professionals, positioning them for senior management, C-suite, and board roles.
WISCAR founder Amina Oyagbola praised the graduates, stating, “The success of this fourth cohort is a testament to the power of mentorship and structured development. These women have shown remarkable dedication and growth, and they are now poised to take on significant leadership roles. We are confident they will make a lasting impact on their organizations and the broader industry. As we celebrate their achievements, we also acknowledge the transformative influence their leadership will have in driving sustainable change, diversity, equity, and inclusion across sectors. Their journey is just beginning, and we look forward to seeing how they will continue to embody WISCAR’s values and vision.”
Miss Yemisi Ransome-Kuti, a mentor in the program, in her charge to the mentees, said “Your journey does not end here; it begins now. The skills, insights, and connections you have gained are powerful tools, but it is your courage, resilience, and integrity that will truly set you apart as leaders. Embrace the challenges ahead with confidence and a commitment to excellence. Remember, leadership is not just about reaching the top, but about lifting others as you climb. Go forth and make a difference .”
