Sample of STAR activities:
• Classroom Activities
• Humanitarian Projects involving the pre-university community
• Competitions
• Hands on Activities
• Training of pre-university teachers
• Mentoring
• Public Awareness Activities
More information on STAR can be found on the WIE webpage.

Women in Power – What we do
PES Women in Power fosters a more diverse leadership by supporting the career advancement, networking and education of women in the energy industry. Our goal is not to simply increase the number of women in the power industry but to promote women into leadership positions as well.
WiP Goals
• Promote the community of women in the power industry.
• Develop early- to mid-career candidates for leadership positions through recognition and leadership education.
• Develop support amongst institutions to provide opportunities for qualified candidates to ascend to leadership positions.
• Provide networking opportunities and resources to help women in power engineering to advance their careers.
• Provide inspiration and education through mentors, role models, and success stories.
