What kind of courses would you recommend for Female Communications Engineers returning to flexible / part time work in the UK after a 5 year career break?

Laura Trethowan
Hello Everyone. I'm looking for some inspiration please! 

I am an IEng Communications Engineer who has been on a career break since 2015. I don't want to return to full time work whilst my children are in school (another 15years...) so I'm looking to do a qualification that will enable me to remain an 'engineer', working for myself, part-time from home, until I'm able to return to work full time. I'm considering doing a Masters Degree in Big Data with the Derby University which I think would give me skills and opportunity to go down that route.

I was wondering if any of you knew any other 'skill gaps' or could recommend any specific courses for people in my situation.

Thank you

Laura

    Good luck with the Big Data course. If you want to do some reading before the course starts, The IET has a Big Data Book Series that you might be interested in...


    And remember, IET members get 10 knowledge credits every year as a benefit of membership. These credits can be redeemed via the IET's digital library. One credit equates to a single article or chapter download. As well as the Big Data series, the wider backlist of the IET’s publications is available and you can download from over 400 eBooks, over 1,300 conference publications, and over 70,000 journal articles through the use of credits.
