Forty-six mentors and mentees, selected from 150 applications, participated in the first training sessions of the 2023 Katuka Mentorship Programme hosted at the Capricorn Corner Building in Windhoek.
Sponsored by Bank Windhoek for the past four years, the training sessions, which took place from 1 to 3 February, saw mentors and mentees embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
Jacquiline Pack, Bank Windhoek’s Executive Officer of Marketing and Corporate Communication Services, encouraged participants to keep doing their best and be dedicated in everything they do. Pack also shared her Bank Windhoek journey since joining the Bank six years ago. “It was overwhelming at first. Later, I realised I needed a mentor to guide me through this journey. I believe that everyone needs a mentor at some stage,” said Pack.
The Katuka Mentorship Programme has been running for the past 22 years. It has produced significant results in the careers of the participating mentees. To date, 459 entrepreneurs and businesswomen have completed the Programme.
