New Era College Participates In The Woman to Woman Power Breakfast
26 October, 2021
New Era College was proud to be amongst the participants at the Woman to Woman Power Breakfast
held at Cresta Lodge last week under the theme: Generation Equality: realizing Women’s rights for an
Equal Future.
The glamorous event saw a star ensemble of leading Women coming together to share their experiences
and challenges they have faced as Women in their respective fields so the next generation of working
women don’t have to go through the same hurdles. The Guest of Honor for the day was the ever pleasant
Honorable Minister of Finance Miss Peggy Serame who shared her sentiments of Governments gains
made towards gender equality. “Through the signing of international agreements such as the 2017 SADC
gender protocol clearly demonstrates Governments commitment towards empowering women.”
The College was brilliantly represented by the Acting Dean in the Faculty of Engineering Ms Glory
Ifiegbu. The Acting Dean shared her insights on Women in Engineering and highlighted the importance
of having the female voice at the decision making table. “We need more Women to participate in this
traditionally male driven environment so that they can bring new ideas to the table that affect women such
as making working conditions friendlier towards Women in Engineering.”
The Power breakfast extended a special invitation to two young ladies from Ledumang Senior Secondary
School STEM club to be a part of the amazing day. The College pledged to offer the young girls free
attendance to their weekly STEM tinkering sessions that aim to equip learners with STEM skills for the
fourth industrial revolution workforce such as programming, robotics and electronics. We look forward to
welcoming these future engineers at the home of engineering!
