MEMBER NEWS: Volunteering Matters Launches 'Making Work Work - for Women Returners' Programme
We are delighted to share this news from our members Volunteering Matters, who have launched a new programme for women returners, aiming to support women that are returning to the workplace.
I would like to introduce you to the 'Making Work Work - for Women Returners' programme as you are in a unique position of having access to a network of people including women who would benefit from support to return to work.
Volunteering Matters is working on this in a new partnership between 'The Challenges Group' and 'Get the Gen'. The programme is Scotland -wide, and fully funded (by SDS). It's open to women over 25 who have had a career break of 6 months or more and who have management or leadership experience or aspirations. The programme provides a refresher on management skills and support to rekindle confidence, develop new networks and understand the employment / business opportunities that are right for their level of skill and experience. An additional focus is around the confidence to ask for and secure flexible working and 'make work work' for them. The programme is online and as the content is delivered using teams and zoom it provides an opportunity for women to become familiar with new ways of working. In addition to the peer support and programme content we offer individual mentorship, masterclasses and access to a network of alumna.
