Encouraging women across the Humber to consider a career in the manufacturing, engineering, construction, digital and renewables industries.

After many successful years of hosting a daytime event for school groups, we are once again opening the doors to the public - this year from 3:30pm to 6:00pm.

Come along and meet women from across the region who work for companies in the manufacturing, engineering, construction, digital, and renewables sectors. Speak to them about their careers, the companies they work for, the industries they work in, and why you should consider joining them.

You’ll be able to find out more about current and future job vacancies, learn about their apprenticeship opportunities, and discover what qualifications and training you’ll need to work in their industries.

In addition, we'll be offering attendees a free session on transferable skills. Many people don't realise that they already possess valuable strengths and transferable skills that can help them stand out to potential employers and training providers. Our free session will help you identify them and give you the confidence to discuss them.

Who is the event for?

Female students attending secondary school, sixth form or further education college, or higher education, and their parents/carers.

Women currently employed in other sectors who wish to make a career change.

Women returning to work after a career break.

Careers professionals who work with young people and adults.

Please note that anyone under the age of 16 wishing to attend this event must be accompanied by a responsible adult over the age of 18.
