Opportunity description
The WiSER Pioneers Program, launched in 2018, offers women worldwide access to educational workshops and global networking opportunities with industry experts, supporting them to reach their full potential. Empowering young women to take a leading role in the global transition to a net-zero future, the program provides a platform to make their voices heard and equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead meaningful change.
The multi-disciplinary program encompasses skill enhancement, career advancement, and networking opportunities. These include tailor-made workshops and training sessions focused on sustainability, clean energy, and leadership.

WiSER also participates in global events and conferences, providing a platform for Pioneers to learn, contribute to global discussions, and connect with industry leaders.
