Empowering a Diverse Future In Power Delivery
The 100
Fresh Faces Program
Agbara Engineering is not only committed to engineering excellence but also to fostering diversity and inclusion within the power delivery engineering field. We firmly believe that a diverse workforce is not only essential for successful business outcomes but also for the betterment of communities. To translate this belief into action, Agbara Engineering has proudly introduced the "100 Fresh Faces Program."
FRESH FACES
OUR GOAL
empowering people and communities
A COMMITMENT
TO DIVERSITY
Diversity and inclusion are not merely buzzwords for us. They are the driving force behind our commitment to creating a more equitable and inclusive power delivery engineering industry. The leadership team at Agbara Engineering recognizes that by championing diversity, we can not only enhance our company's performance but also make a positive and lasting impact on local communities.
The “100 Fresh Faces Program” is an ambitious initiative designed to introduce a pipeline of at least 100 new female and diverse engineers, designers, and technicians into the power delivery engineering space over the next two years. We view this program as a catalyst for change, both within our industry and in the communities we serve. Here’s how the program works:
1. COLLABORATION WITH UTILITIES
To kickstart this initiative, Agbara Engineering is partnering with utilities. We recognize the critically necessary engineering and design services required by our utility partners. These partnerships provide the perfect opportunity to bridge the gap between industry needs and community development.
2. RECRUITMENT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES
We are determined to make a lasting impact on the communities surrounding our utility partners. In line with this commitment, we recruit the “Fresh Faces” in these local communities. By doing so, we not only bring new talent into the power delivery engineering sector but also support the economic and social development of these regions.
3. COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING
Agbara Engineering understands that to create a diverse and inclusive workforce, we need to invest in the development of our “Fresh Faces.” We provide comprehensive training in the field of power delivery, ensuring that each individual is equipped with the skills and knowledge required for success in this industry.
4. MENTORSHIP AND SUPPORT
Mentorship is at the core of the “100 Fresh Faces Program.” We provide guidance and support to each participant, helping them navigate the challenges and opportunities in the power delivery engineering field. Our experienced professionals serve as mentors, creating a nurturing and empowering environment in which each “Fresh Face” can thrive.
5. FOSTERING AN INCLUSIVE CULTURE
Agbara Engineering is committed to creating a culture where everyone can “bring their full selves to work.” We actively promote an inclusive environment where differences are celebrated, and each “Fresh Face” is empowered to contribute their unique perspective and skills to the field.
6. IMPACT ON LOCAL UTILITIES
As the “Fresh Faces” become part of the industry, they actively contribute to the local utilities’ projects. This mutually beneficial arrangement ensures that utilities receive the engineering and design services they need, while the “Fresh Faces” gain valuable hands-on experience in the field.
