There are around 50K women in the UK with STEM qualifications who are not really using them. It could be because they took a career break to have a family, or perhaps decided on a different direction early on and are now thinking about switching back to a job in technology, engineering, science and maths. Training company Tectre has started running courses across the country to help these women understand the opportunities and how valuable their skills are in a sector that is actively seeking to close the gender gap. The first one is on the 9th September in London and I’ve been given a 20% off discount code to share with my readers. See below for full details as issued by Tectre:

Are you considering returning to the world of work within the STEM or SET sectors having been away from the world of work for some time? Do you want to know more about how you can make this possible? Are you wondering whether your skills are still relevant? Are you thinking that your skills no longer hold the value they once did? Concerned about who will hold the fort at home whilst you re-engage with the world of work?

The challenges are experienced on multiple fronts from; loss of confidence, a lack of clarity around where your skills now fit in the world of work, finding sustainable child care to managing and integrating your work and life into one manageable unit.
