Mums in Tech & RADA in Business Debut Programme for Women Returners “Return with Impact and Influence” Launches 1st August Supported by techUK
London, United Kingdom, July 09, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Mums in Tech is pleased to announce the launch of their returners programme designed and operated in partnership with RADA in Business and supported by techUK. The programme is focused on developing the confidence and leadership skills of women returning to the workforce after career breaks; with the first programme commencing: Tuesday, 1st August at RADA Studios.
A recent study released by Hatch UK included worrying statistics about the silent crisis plaguing women returning to work after career breaks, including:
· 60% of returning mothers felt less or no confidence when coming back to work
· 14% of women take a cut in responsibility at work after their maternity leave
· Only 16% of women’s careers have progressed since having children
The aim of the programme is to help women face the challenges that await them when they return to work by developing tools, skills and strategies to ensure that they are not only able to grow and perform in the work environment, but to help them become the best versions of themselves.
With the help of sponsors, Mums in Tech are able to offer 50% scholarships (worth £1,100) for the inaugural programme 1-2 August 2017.
Of the programme, June Angelides – founder of Mums in Technology says, “Looking back at my career, I can think of numerous instances where having the tools to confidently voice my opinions or ask for a pay rise would have been invaluable.
“After kids, it's normal for your confidence to take a dip, regardless of your level of seniority. We want to make sure we are seeing more women heading for the boardroom and taking up their seats.”
Jaqueline de Rojas – president of techUK who are supporting this endeavor says, “Who wouldn't want to learn how to access confidence, create positive energy and assume a position of command in the blink of an eye?
“These are just a few of the practical techniques I took away from my recent 'RADA in Business' experience. For women returners, this course created by Mums In Technology, RADA and techUK, is invaluable. I am so struck by the words of Christine Lagarde: "Powerful women don't get there by accident.”
