This initiative is designed to empower female students in Northern and North-Central #Nigerian #universities pursuing mining-related courses, with the aim of fostering academic #excellence, #leadership #skills, and #career readiness in the #mining #industry.

 

Objectives of the Initiative:

The NextGen #WomenInMining Initiative is designed to identify, support, and nurture young female #talents pursuing mining-related #courses. This initiative aims to spark interest in mining careers, offer #mentorship #opportunities, and #empower young women with the knowledge and skills needed to excel #academically and #professionally. Through strategic guidance and mentorship, participants will gain access to a network of industry experts and resources, fostering academic excellence, leadership skills, and a strong foundation for future contributions to the mining sector.

 

The program will unfold in two #phases:

⛏️ ⛏️ Phase One focuses on enrolment, where eligible students fill out the NextGen Women in Mining form to participate(incentivised).

⛏️ ⛏️ Phase Two will feature a thoughtfully designed #mentorship program, providing tailored support, professional insights, and career #development opportunities to prepare participants for #success in the dynamic world of #mining.

 

We are excited about the transformative impact this initiative will have on the academic and professional journeys of participants and anticipate active engagement throughout the program. Spreading the word about this opportunity will inspire more young women to consider mining-related courses, creating a ripple effect of empowerment within academic circles and communities.
