Bhubaneswar: The Wonder girls (An online-based education portal) has announced the launch of a Transformational Fellowship Programme to nurture and develop ambitious girls into confident and courageous leaders.
A total of 50 students from classes VIII to XII will be allowed during the first batch of the programme.
The Women’s workforce participation in India is around 16 per cent of India’s working-age women and less than 7 per cent are city dwellers. India produces the most women graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the world. Out of which, around 14 per cent are in the workforce.
To change these numbers for the betterment, the right kind of aspirations have to be sown in the early stages, especially during the adolescent period. Curated programmes designed for different communities and for diverse age groups can contribute to long-lasting goals.
This comprehensive programme is designed around 4 main pillars — (i) Learning directly from a star-studded lineup of leaders, (ii) Learning with an incredible and high-quality peer group, (iii) Demonstrating leadership potential through curated projects, (iv) Guaranteed access to game-changing internships.
The team behind the Transformational Fellowship Programme is from institutions such as BITS Pilani, Harvard Business School, University of Oxford and Columbia University.
“Student leaders fellowship is a unique platform for adolescent girls to interact with thought leaders and professional experts from a wide range of fields, in a safe and nurturing environment, amongst an exciting peer group,” Senior Advisor, Wonder Girls, Aparna Piramal Raje said.
