Women in Aviation Singapore Chapter (WAI-SG) will celebrate 100 graduates of its mentorship program at its fourth annual gala dinner on October 9. Singapore senior minister of state for transport Sun Xueling will serve as the guest of honor at the event. WAI-SG was established in 2021 and celebrated its first program graduates in 2024.
Launched in 2022, the mentorship program supports career advancement by pairing mentees with experienced professionals. According to WAI-SG, more than one-third of its participants have gone on to earn some form of professional recognition, including awards, expanded responsibilities, and organizational acknowledgement. More than 90% rated their experience highly, with satisfaction scores averaging 8.5 out of 10.
“Having 100 mentees graduate in three years is testament of our approach to ensure sustainable growth in female representation while promoting innovation and resilience across Singapore’s aviation ecosystem,” said WAI-SG president Lou-Ann Seet.
Following the gala, WAI-SG will host Girls in Aviation Day on November 1 at Temasek Polytechnic, with Singapore Airlines captain Vanessa Ess as the guest of honor. The event invites girls ages eight to 17 to explore aviation careers through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities.
WAI-SG said that both events underscore its commitment to developing female talent across the aviation sector, complementing national workforce initiatives, including a Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore fund that supports workforce needs.
