Sonja Sampson, a coach and trainer with non-governmental organisation Special-ists in Sustained Youth Development and Research (SSYDR Inc.), is going to be the latest local beneficiary of the Global Women in Management (GWIM) training programme.
Sampson, according to a release issued on Friday by Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL), will be the eighth Guyanese woman to have participated in the GWIM training programme since 2013.
The ExxonMobil Foundation has funded the programme, which is designed to strengthen women’s management, leadership, and technical skills to enhance and bring-to-scale programmes that advance women’s economic opportunities and build the next generation of women business leaders and entrepreneurs. The candidates must be working in a local organisation focused on women’s economic empowerment.
