KANGAR, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- The Women’s Leadership Apprentice (PERANTIS) Programme, introduced last year, has proven to be an effective platform for training and guiding women to become competitive global leaders.
Perlis Women’s Development Office director, P. Kalai Kumar, said the programme provides participants with mentorship from experienced women leaders and practical training to help them develop vision, leadership skills, and strong communication and social advocacy abilities.
“So far, Perlis has produced four successful women leaders under the PERANTIS initiative. They mentor participants in areas such as entrepreneurship, economics, and leadership education. The programme has received encouraging participation in the state.
“Perlis may be small, but its women have great potential. We want them to step beyond local boundaries, become regional players, and eventually global players,” he said after officiating the Seminar on Empowering Women Entrepreneurs and Contractors Towards the Global Stage here today.
Kalai Kumar said selected women leaders under the programme will receive grants of up to RM50,000 to carry out leadership development projects in various fields, including politics, economy, social development, technology, law, security, well-being, education, and health.
