Young professional’s networking event

Last week Grace, Rebecca, Harry and I attended a young professional’s networking evening hosted by Willans (a local law firm) and Hazlewoods (a local accountancy firm).

With the sun shining, about 40 young professionals arrived in a local bar for an evening of networking. Although we didn’t know many others before arriving, through good tapas-style food (and drink!) the conversations flowed easily. The evening was a great opportunity to get to know other young professionals also at an early stage of their careers.

We all enjoyed the evening’s activities, and were pleased to be a part of a growing community of young professionals in the Gloucestershire area. We would like to thank Willans and Hazlewoods for organising the event, and are already looking forward to the next one!

Why more women should pursue careers within STEM and embrace their inner STEM superhero

As soon as Jodie Whittaker jumped in her Tardis this week she changed gender role perceptions for a whole new generation of young women. The first female Doctor Who’s ground-breaking turn has not only served to challenge decades of attitudes towards traditionally male-dominated roles, but could even encourage a new wave of budding scientists to explore a career in science. STEM roles have traditionally experienced a gender divide, with more men than women pursuing a career across Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics industries. However, intellectual property firm Wynne- Jones IP said STEM offers “unparalleled” opportunities to young women looking for a rewarding and enriching career.)…
