Science, engineering and technology: A course for women returners -
Free + childcare

If you are a woman who has studied or worked in either science,
engineering or technology (SET) and you are looking to return to work
in one of these sectors, then this course offers a supportive
environment to help you realise your ambitions. Through a series of
online activities and discussions, you will analyse your previous
experience, identify opportunities and develop a realistic and
powerful action plan to enable you to find a job that will fulfil your
aspirations and suit your lifestyle. As well as developing your skills
and confidence, the course includes the chance to meet potential
employers, role models and mentors in the world of SET.

The course has been developed by the Open University with support from
UK Resource Centre for Women in SET specifically to help women
overcome the problems they face when returning to work in science,
engineering and technology, and is sponsored by the Department of
Trade and Industry and the European Social Fund EQUAL Programme.

The course is FREE of charge, and travel and childcare expenses are
available so that you can attend networking events and tutorials.
Applicants should have a background in a science, engineering or
technology subject - either through substantial work experience in one
of these sectors or having studied to HND/degree level or equivalent.
