Winning Without Compromise at Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA)

Winning Without Compromise is a campus outreach is targeted at young female undergraduates of higher institutions of learning in Nigeria. It is held twice yearly in different locations and some of the schools visited over the years are; University of Lagos, Lagos State University, University of Abuja, University of Port-Harcourt and recently, the University of Calabar.

 

The intent of this program is to prepare female undergraduates on workplace and business issues by challenging them at an interactive session to unveil and attempt to discuss and resolve their expectations, opportunities and/or fears. The anchor persons, who are drawn from the WIMBIZ pool of Mentors from varying sectors, also attempt to walk the participants through their experiences and hopefully pass onto the young women, the rules of survival in our patriarchal society. This program also serves as a tool for mentoring and identifying passionate female undergraduates interested in working actively in a professional organization or interested in running their businesses.
