JIVE - Creating Change for Women & Girls in Science, Engineering, Construction and Technology

JIVE Objectives - Women SECT Returners

JIVE has currently helped over 1034 women in their efforts to return to SECT industries using a variety of initiatives, including:

events
networking
information material
mentoring services for the wide range and volume of women engaged by the campaign
work experience/work shadowing which allows women to re-familiarise themselves with their chosen field or just the work environment itself

The results of these initiatives are:

We are now in regular contact with over 800 Women Returners around the UK
Working with the Open University, we designed and launched an online 10 week course for Women Returners which has attracted over 700 students
270 women who used our services have now progressed to employment, further study or other training activities in SET
Working with Equals One and Working Families we have developed an innovative online agency which helps women to find flexible employment. Jobshare UK was launched on 17th September
Over 30 events around the UK to help Women Returners develop skills, build confidence and expand their networks.
