The Women in Power Training Program (WIPT) is designed for female university graduates with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering who are eager to build a successful career in the renewable energy sector. At Daystar Power, we believe diversity drives innovation and success. Yet, across Africa, women remain greatly underrepresented in engineering roles, in Nigeria, less than 10% of engineering students are women.
Recognizing this gap, we launched WIPT in 2019 to bridge the university-to-career pipeline for female engineers and provide the technical skills, mentorship, and opportunities they need to thrive in the fast-growing solar energy industry. Our comprehensive program combines hands-on training, industry expertise, and professional development to create the next generation of female leaders in renewable energy.
