Executive Director for the Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA – Gh), Hajia Alimah Sagito – Saeed had been selected as one of the trainers for the WEE-NORTH CANADA Females in Industrial Jobs.
This training was carried out during a week’s capacity building camp in Tamale.
Hajia Alimah was key facilitator for two important sessions, which were expected to build the capacity of the female, to help her overcome some societal fears and carrier barriers.
These sessions are leadership – types and style, as well as leadership skills and building self -confidence.
Over 120 females from different industrial professions were brought together in the camp, as the beneficiaries of the capacity building aimed at helping bridge the gap between the male and female in terms of overcoming societal fears and taking advantage of available opportunities.
As part of the training, Hajia Alimah encouraged the women to move beyond the excuses society has created, including the notion that the industrial field is an area for men. She said the woman can be what she wants to be if she puts her mind to it and acts.
