Free programme for women returning to the workforce
PUBLISHED 20 SEPTEMBER 2023
Empowering Women Returning to Work
The Irish Medtech Skillnet recently announced an exciting partnership with Irish Times Training. The partnership has launched a game-changing free one-day programme for professional women returning to work or re-launching their career.
The programme is free to attend, and has been designed for women who are currently not in employment and now wish to return to the workplace.
And your location is no barrier to attending as the programme will take place live online (via Zoom) over two mornings on December 5th and 6th, 2023 (9.30 am to 12.30pm each day), and will be delivered by expert Irish Times Training faculty.
Three Pilars
The three key pillars of the programme are:
- Commitment
- Competence
- Confidence
These will support professional women as they take the important steps to return to the workforce with confidence in their skills and abilities.
Topics covered will allow participants to improve their confidence and self-esteem, becoming ‘career-ready’,and in working towards their personal goals and objectives.
Mentoring Opportunity
One very interesting element of the programme is that each participant has the opportunity to avail of a one-hour mentoring session with a senior executive within the Medtech Industry. This is a genuine opportunity, not to be missed.
Programme Objectives
Meeting the objectives of participants, especially in an intensive programme, is essential, so the session is dedicated to delivering on the following three commitments:
- Develop participants' self-confidence
- Empower individuals to further their careers, and to work towards their personal development and career goals
- Assist participants in developing their own ‘personal brand’, to help in pitching themselves more successfully to employers
