MPowerHer brings together partners to support women across different stages of life with access to AI learning and professional networks.
Microsoft has launched the MPowerHer initiative in Singapore to support women in building AI and digital skills through training, mentorship, and career pathways. The programme is delivered with partners including SG Women in Tech, Mums@Work, and Code; Without Barriers.
The initiative was officially launched by Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, Rahayu Mahzam, at Microsoft Public Sector Solutions Day. It aims to support women across different life and career stages, including those returning to work after a career break.
MPowerHer combines foundational AI training with practical, team-based projects and career support. It also provides access to mentorship networks and community programmes designed to help participants move into employment or entrepreneurship.
The programme includes training in AI fundamentals, Microsoft Copilot, AI agents, and low-code and no-code tools. It is open to members of national communities such as SG Women in Tech, Mums@Work, and Code; Without Barriers, as well as other women across Singapore.
Microsoft Singapore Managing Director Wee Luen Chia said the initiative focuses on ensuring women are included in the AI-driven workforce. He added that it supports inclusive skills development and prepares participants for opportunities in the digital economy.
