BCS South West - Women in Computing/IT and career progression - March 2015
Channel: BCSSouthWest
Date: 20/11/2015

Lynne Palmer, the WISE Partnership Director, will talk to you about the WISE Campaign which last year celebrated its 30th birthday. You will find out how WISE promotes female talent in science, engineering & technology from the Classroom to the Boardroom and how you could get involved. Specifically you will hear about how WISE is planning to expand its presence in the SW to bring you more direct support. 

WISE works closely with BCS Women so this partnership will also be discussed. The event (and WISE membership) is encouraged for men who have an interest in the gender imbalance, as much as women.

Lynne will add an interactive element to the event with 2 short workshop type sessions that will investigate some interesting findings for women working or looking to work in the STEM sector. We will discover how you self-identify and how you can use that to get more job satisfaction now & in the future. We will also investigate the differences between the motivational factors in the workplace for men & women.
