YOUNG women looking to network with their more seasoned counterparts in the business and political arenas now have a new platform from which they can do so.
Called the Young Women's Leadership Connection (YWLC), it was officially launched on Friday night by Mrs Lim Hwee Hua, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Finance and Transport.
The YWLC also aims to groom female leaders, get them engaged in community work and provide more opportunities for them to interact with their peers. It was an idea first mooted in 2008 by Mrs Lim and the financial firm UBS Singapore.
'As women go through the different stages in life, their personal and career goals change,' Mrs Lim said at the launch on Friday night. 'By creating a network of young ladies at a similar stage in life, these ladies can leverage on each other's experience and tap on each other for advice.'
The YWLC began to roll out programmes in July 2008 and provide opportunities for mentorship, enrichment, networking and community engagement, especially for young women who were undergraduates or those who had just started work.
