Equate Scotland and City of Glasgow College are delighted to invite you to ’Taking Positive Action to Build Your Talent Pipeline’, a free half-day seminar aimed at employers in the engineering sector. The day focuses on how you can take positive action to address the gender imbalance in engineering and attract more women into the sector. You’ll hear from employers who have taken action - by offering work-based placements and returnships – and are already reaping the rewards, the women they’ve supported, and a legal expert on the do’s and don’ts so you feel confident about your next steps.
