Women for Women: Supporting Each Other to Build Sustainable Careers
The Public Affairs Section of the U. S. Consulate in Kolkata (PAS Kolkata) seeks proposals for a project entitled “Women for Women:
Supporting Each Other to Build Sustainable Careers.” Under this project, a grantee will partner with PAS Kolkata to host weekly mentoring workshops at the
American Center for 20 women between the ages of 20-25 pursuing undergraduate studies in STEM fields in Kolkata who have little to no exposure to the U.S and the American higher education system.
The workshops will be conducted by four experts, preferably female alumni of USG programs, who have built successful careers.
In addition, each woman will participate in 12 one-on-one virtual exchange sessions with a current STEM student studying in a U. S. university, preferably EducationUSA alumni or STEM Fulbright Fellow.
The findings from the virtual exchanges will be incorporated into the workshop to achieve a global perspective of working women professionals.
