The Women in Leadership Programme for 2006 was launched recently when women students from various universities in the Western Cape gathered on the Bellville campus. Twenty-five representatives from various academic institutions took part in this year’s programme.

“As part of the programmme, students attend workshops on leadership, self-knowledge, legal issues, group facilitation, conflict management, public speaking, networking and diversity management,” said Ms Mastura Jamodien, Student Development Officer

“The Women in Leadership Programme is a collaborative project between the CPUT and the Universities of the Western Cape (UWC), Stellenbosch (US) and Cape Town (UCT). The programme was launched in 2004 and is funded by the Telkom Foundation,” she said.

“The programme is an effort to address challenges women face. The aim was to give female students an opportunity to compete with their male counterparts on an equal basis. The emphasis is placed on increasing leadership opportunities and to provide support to women students,” added Ms Jamodien.
