Our landmark WLC is on the way!

Student Village’s annual Women’s Leadership Conference (WLC), the premier skills development event for top women undergraduates, will be taking place in August.

The event will see the top female students in the country transported from their home campuses in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town to meet highly influential business women and celebrities who will share the secrets of their success in today’s highly competitive world.
Tarren Markman, a mover and shaker behind this Student Village event, says previous delegates have spoken at length of the marvellous contacts they made at the event and how it enriched their lives. She adds that the WLC also offers marvellous opportunities for sponsors to build their brands though interacting and inspiring hundreds of talented female students.

“The WLC is a prestigious, ‘by-invitation-only’ event for students. It provides a mentoring network to a select group of extremely talented young women from universities across the country, and affords sponsors an unparalleled platform into the hearts and minds of our future female leaders.”
Previous sponsors have included Liberty Life, Coca Cola, Eskom and Vodacom. “We are still finalising this year’s sponsors but they are sure to be equally well-known and influential and will give delegates the opportunities to interact directly with the top brass of some of the largest corporates in the country,” she says.

Hulisani Cecilia Ravele (CC), one of the most recognised youth personalities in the country, will MC at the event. Having joined the entertainment industry at the tender age of nine, CC has become a favourite in the local television industry.

Award-winning TV presenter, MC, radio personality, scriptwriter and voice artist Carol Manana, host of “SABC Sport on 1”, will present at the WLC. Also speaking this year is Dineo Ranaka, a talented young radio DJ and TV presenter. She has her own entertainment TV show on eTV, Club 808.
Further speakers will be announced shortly.

The WLC provides a unique opportunity for sponsors to rub shoulders with these high calibre students, many of whom will be on the Dean’s List at their universities, and some of whom will graduate cum laude. “These are the very limited pool of women that major corporates are competing for through a variety of on and off campus programmes. Here, however, they have them all together under one roof as a captive audience,” says Markman.
