TEACH South Africa helps young woman leaders find their magic
by TEACH South Africa
On Tuesday, August 31, Vuyiswa Ncontsa, programme head of TEACH South Africa, took part in the Student Village Women’s Leadership Conference. The event attracts top performing final year female students from universities in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town.
Fay Humphries from Student Village said: “This, the seventh annual Women’s Leadership Conference, is aimed at awakening and nurturing the spirit of leadership and growth in each delegate.
Every young woman present has shown strength of character, leadership ability, a natural drive to succeed and a willingness to contribute to the welfare of others.”
“Student Village believes in the potential of women to make a valuable contribution to the development and growth of South Africa.
The young women at this conference are the cream of the crop [and] Student Village is dedicated to supporting and inspiring each of them so as to empower them to build successful futures.”
Contsa shared the story of her career, from working in the corporate environment to now working for an NGO. She also shared some interesting anecdotes from her time at TEACH South Africa.
