The 2025 – 26 Women Like Me mentoring programme is open for applications from mentors and mentees!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women Like Me pairs senior women engineers\/property professionals in the Bristol and Bath area with their junior counterparts. Mentoring relationships are fostered through various events put on by the UWE team and their partners STEMazing<\/a>. But this programme goes one step further – providing training and opportunities for junior women to engage in STEM education outreach within local schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this combination of peer mentoring and outreach, the scheme aims to boost female representation in engineering and construction careers at all levels. The mentoring side addresses retention issues, whilst outreach in schools boosts recruitment of women in male-dominate industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women Like Me is an award winning scheme<\/a> that’s been running for over six years and has empowered over 350 women. And you could be a part of this new cohort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big thank you goes out to Suez, Recycling and Recovery<\/a> who are sponsoring this year’s programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
