How can you access and support the 75,000 UK STEM professionals on caring-related career breaks?

Join return to work experts Women Returners and STEM Returners and returner employers on Wednesday 7 June (9:30-10:45) for a free-of-charge Employer Insight Event on the topic of "Supporting Returners Back to Tech and Engineering". The event is for tech and engineering employers in the Midlands and the North of England. It is part of STEM ReCharge, a new project funded by the Government Equality Hub.

At the event, we will explore the positive impact STEM candidates who have taken extended career breaks can have on talent recruitment and diversity and inclusion strategies. You will learn from the extensive experience of Women Returners and STEM Returners. Successful returner employers will cover the business benefits of hiring STEM professionals returning to work after a career break and how to set returners up for success in your organisation. You will have the opportunity to ask your questions to the speakers. You can also find out more about the free training and support for employers available via STEM ReCharge.
