We are continuing our special SMM 2024 series and it’s time to put a spotlight on women in the maritime industry! Today I sit down with Cathrin Prikker, the newly elected President of WISTA Germany, to discuss status quo and her vision for the future.
In this compelling episode of HANSA.newscast, we shine a spotlight on the women making waves in the maritime industry. From the bridge to the boardroom, women are increasingly taking on leadership roles and driving innovation in what has traditionally been a male-dominated sector. We discuss the progress made and the challenges still faced. This episode is a celebration of diversity and inclusion within the maritime industry and a must-listen for those interested in gender equality in the workplace.
👩🏫 Supporting Women Through Mentorship: One of WISTA Germany’s flagship initiatives is their mentoring program, which pairs experienced professionals with newcomers to help them navigate and succeed in the maritime industry.
🎓 WISTA Young Professionals Board: A new initiative aimed at young women in education or apprenticeships, offering them a platform to join and benefit from the experience of seasoned professionals.
🌍 Global Impact: WISTA’s international network and its consultancy status with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are key in driving change on a global scale.
Catch the full episode and join the conversation about the future of women in maritime! 🚢
