As a part of its efforts to help women professionals accelerate their leadership competence, LeaderX, a pioneering personal development and leadership company, has partnered with Women in Tech (WIT), a global advocacy group, to equip women with global-standard technological skills through its V-Bank Women in Tech Makeathon programme.
The VBank WITN Makeathon 2.0 is in its second edition, empowering countless young women to develop their technical expertise while fostering an environment of creativity, innovation and collaboration. Through the previous edition, participants gained valuable hands-on experience and have gone on with that confidence to pursue rewarding careers in technology.
This collaboration aims to enhance the leadership capabilities and workplace readiness skills of at least 1500 Nigerian women, positioning them to succeed in the fast-paced tech industry.
Launched in June 2022, LeaderX has revolutionised personal transformation through its cutting-edge mobile application. The app delivers a daily dose of curated leadership content, offering bite-sized lessons, insights from world-class leaders, productivity tools and more.
Speaking on the partnership, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of LeaderX, Kemi Ogunkoya, said: “We are delighted to partner with Women in Tech to amplify our mission of empowering individuals to reach their full leadership potential. By combining our unique resources with WIT’s experience in teaching young women tech skills, we can inspire a new generation of female leaders who will shape the future of the technology space in Nigeria and beyond.”
Country Manager, Women in Tech Nigeria, Solape Akinpelu, expressed her delight about the collaboration, stating that “partnering with LeaderX allows us to provide our participants with invaluable personal development resources in addition to the technical skills they acquire during the VBank Women in Tech Makeathon 2.0.”
Akinpelu, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of HerVest, added: “We believe this partnership will enable us to create a transformative experience that prepares young women for leadership roles in the tech world.”
Through this partnership, LeaderX and Women in Tech will collaborate to integrate LeaderX’s leadership content that range from character, competence and mindset development, to lifestyle, communication and other lifelong skills into WIT’s programmes, providing young women across rural and urban areas of Nigeria with holistic learning opportunities.
With a commitment to inspiring individuals and organisations alike, LeaderX has already made a significant impact on many professionals and organisations.
The partnership between LeaderX and Women in Tech brings together two entities with a shared vision of empowering young women to become future leaders in the tech field. By combining LeaderX’s expertise in personal development with WIT’s dedication to fostering tech skills, this collaboration aims to create a comprehensive platform that will accelerate the growth of aspiring female tech leaders.
As LeaderX and Women in Tech combine their strengths, they are positioned to make a profound impact on the lives of young women, empowering them to excel in the tech industry and become influential leaders of tomorrow.
