Hello,
We have been contacted by the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford requesting two female speakers to volunteer at their upcoming careers day.
They are looking for volunteers to talk about their career paths and examples of what it is like in your sector of engineering.
They currently have a number of male speakers and would like to encourage some women to volunteer.
The event will be 29th May and speakers will be needed for 30 – 60 minutes - this will be confirmed.
It will be targeted at students and post-grads so they are looking for speakers who they can relate to. They are not worried about sectors (although they may have involvement from Rolls Royce and BMW so automotive may be covered). The event is likely to run 9.30 – 5.30pm (with lunch and possibly drinks reception). They are expecting the invited speakers to be on in the afternoon so you would not have to arrive until lunch if that was easier (you would be welcome to join in for lunch).
Travel expenses will be covered.
If you would like to volunteer, please e-mail me at womensnetwork@theiet.org and I shall get back to you.
Thank you,
Jo
