We’re thrilled to announce that recruitment is now open for the 2024 round of the Women Like Me Mentoring Programme in the West of England area. As well as our cohort open to all women engineers or property professionals, we now have funding from the Office for Students for a specific cohort focussed on degree apprentices!
Women Like Me is a dynamic peer mentoring and outreach project aimed at boosting female representation in engineering and construction careers at all levels. Our unique program pairs senior women engineers/property professionals with their junior counterparts, fostering mentoring relationships supported through various events. Plus, we provide training and opportunities for junior women to engage in STEM education outreach within local schools. Since 2018, the program has empowered over 300 women, and we’re excited to continue making a positive impact.
Who can take part? Early career female engineers/property professionals (with less than five years of experience) in the Bristol and Bath area are invited as mentees. Senior women engineers, with at least five years of experience, are invited to participate as mentors.
If you’ve been part of the Women Like Me Mentoring Programme before, we encourage you to spread the word within your companies and among friends. Your support is crucial, and you’re more than welcome to join this year’s scheme as mentors.
