The WindAc Africa Mentoring Programme seeks to promote the professional and personal development of female and male students with exclusively female mentors.
“Transformation of the four-year-old SA renewable sector requires specific programmes focused on actively addressing the value chain within renewable power. This programme aims to contribute to the work of changing the leadership of the industry over time. It is part of SAWEA’s commitment to actively working to drive the transformation agenda within the renewables industry,” explained Brenda Martin, CEO of SAWEA.
The structure of the mentoring programme includes matching mentors with mentees, establishing mutual commitments of time, and ongoing advisory and guidance. The first cohort of mentors and mentees will be announced at the WindAc conference on 14-15 November in Cape Town.
