THE COLLECTIVE core pillars
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Professional development provides women with in-demand, disruptive skills they need to propel them into management and leadership roles. For example, a master’s of hospitality degree can lead a woman from working the front desk to being head of HR for a major hotel. Combined with experience, a vintner’s certificate or associate degree can result in a head winemaker job.
academia
By leveraging academic opportunities, women in the wine industry can access a range of resources and support systems, contributing to their professional growth, leadership development, and overall success in the field.
Mentorship
Leadership coaching can make all the difference between career growth and stagnation. Professional women need quality career coaching to build in-demand leadership skills and level up.
"The trip to California for Precision Viticulture Demo Day was eye-opening. As a freshman at the time, I was not aware of all that Southern had to offer. I was especially inspired by Miss Agnes. She made me proud to represent my University at such a prestigious event and to carry that pride everywhere I go."
