THINK LABOR
To keep up with everything skilling and employment

Dear Reader, 
  
In this Women's Day special edition of our newsletter, we bring to you stories of women who inspire us to fight for what we believe in and lead by example! We truly believe that equity and equality is the way forward to make access to education, healthcare, and employment a level-playing field for all genders. 
 
We have curated a couple of videos that look at how women have broken barriers by undergoing training in courses that are not conventionally associated with women, etc. As we come to the close of the financial year, we took time to pause and reflect on the year that has passed by! We hope you find this edition of the newsletter engaging and meaningful! Happy reading and viewing!
