• Julia Mphafudi - Our Country 
has a history of women been 
previously marginalized in the 
workplace. The recently published 
Employment Equity report show 
lack of equity in the top echelon 
across economic sectors.  Our 
fundamental concern is continued 
skills shortage for black women in 
the Technology, Engineering and 
Mathematics (STEM) professions. 
Women in leadership positions are 
faced with numerous challenges 
including hostile corporate culture. 
Being in a leadership position 
requires the capacity to manage 
complexity that comes with 
multiple roles and responsible 
within financial, social and 
economic and sometimes political 
spheres.

women accelerated

accelerate women 
from technical 
expertise to senior 
management roles.

• Key to the success is to ensure 
women are committed to participate 
and complete the programme. The 
Accelerated Development are 
implemented in the phased in 
approach for a period of a year to up 
to three years. The first phase 
involves competency standards 
developed in line with the 
programme objectives. Participants 
are assessed using different methods 
like psychometric and 360% 
assessments to establish 
developmental gaps.
