The Australian Institute of Packaging has opened registrations for its Influential Women Mentoring Programme for Australasia, aimed at enabling women in the industry to discover their strengths.

The AIP says this year is different as attendees will be using psychological assessment programme Gallup Strengths to discover their talents and how to best increase performance, productivity and passion at work.

AIP says its Influential Women Mentoring program will connect women to women in the packaging industry, using the latest technology no matter where they are located. It says this programme is not about being perfect – it is about making progress and growing in your career together. It is about knowing which levers to adjust to be influential and learning along the way.

Learning outcomes for the programme include positioning themselves as a leader in the industry that has influence and impact, improving their presence and ability to gain the buy-in of peers, leaders and stakeholders, diversify their networks and sure up their ability to ‘future-proof’ their career and have the confidence to speak up at the table and be heard.

The AIP programme begins in February and early bird registrations close November 29.

The mentoring programme is open to anyone in the packaging industry, those who are interested can enter here: http://aipack.com.au/education/mentoring-program/
