Conference for young women engineers

Engineering and construction can be challenging environments in which to train and work, especially when only 3% of apprentices in these fields are female.

Thanks to funding from Arconic, the second Women's Engineering Society – WES Apprentice Conference – will take place on Saturday 15 June 2019 at Engineers House in Bristol.

Speakers from Make UK, the Engineering Council, Siemens plc and other key professional organisations will be providing a dynamic mix of hands-on, interactive teamwork sessions along with advice on building careers and employment profiles.

The conference will also hear from inspirational women engineers who started their careers as apprentices.

The event aims to help women engineers gain confidence and networking skills by meeting apprentices from other companies and sectors. Improve leadership, personal and workplace skills through interactive and hands-on teamwork challenge sessions and learn more about the transition from training to full employment.

The event is open to female engineering apprentices aged 18 and above.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. WES can also provide a contribution of up to £50 per apprentice to cover travel expenses. For more information about the conference and to book a place visit: https://bit.ly/2Wz5eYW
