FREE event: Boosting mentoring for women in STEM
The West of England is home to an impressive list of STEM industries, and all are working to improve participation for women in STEM. As well as recruiting more women into STEM, we also need to think about retaining our talented workforce. Mentoring Schemes can help to do just that, with research showing that mentoring from other experienced women is a key factor in creating a welcoming workplace culture.
This event brings together our leading players in women’s mentoring across the West of England, to explore how we can support each other and learn from best practice.
