Our Focus
Growth
An area without growth is bound to failure. We are all about growth and empowerment
The organization aims to create and promote progressive growth in an environment where there’s gender imbalance in terms of professional growth and advancement in all dimensions of the town planning profession
PLANNING GRADUATES INTERNSHIP
The increasing rate of unemployed graduates is a compelling factor for planners in the industry to take accountability and assist in placing graduates in short to medium term employment opportunities that would help them enter the job market and register with the relevant Council. The program is exclusive to WiPSA members.
SEMINARS / CONFERENCES / BREAKFAST TALKS
WiPSA recognizes the need for professional development beyond the traditional academic training and therefore sets a platform for continuous engagement through a range of seminars, workshops, conference and free online short-courses aimed at advancing career growth and commitment to being a planner of the highest quality. This will ensure that the under-privileged students are given an equal opportunity to access information
MENTORSHIP & NURTURING
A vast number of students at high school level have been put at a disadvantage due to the lack of adequate knowledge when it comes to choosing a career. Reach-out programmes will be organised such as school visits and or career exhibitions to assist learners with their career choice
Continuous Professional Development and Leadership
Little is done to celebrate, recognise and to encourage women who have contributed significantly within the sector from academic to corporate levels. WiPSA has identified a need to reinstill women’s confidence and determination to continue to work with integrity in the planning sector and to also inspire others.
