The training program was led by Postgraduate students of Woxsen University and mentored by Dr. Kakoli Sen, Dean - School of Business & Dr. Shubhendhu Patnaik, Cary Cooper Professor of Organisational Psychology.

Over 3 weeks of training sessions, the girls were exposed to different aspects of future, developing SMART goals & learnt how to work towards achieving them. Professors from different schools at Woxsen briefed the students on various avenues of higher education and career opportunities. Ms. Anubha Jain, Counsellor at Woxsen University acquainted them with important concepts of mental health and counselling.  

The Project Aspiration team has organised various debates and discussed crucial social issues to open up the young minds.
