As an Industry professional member of the EMPOWER Network I am willing to

Attend (where possible) the Empower Network events that are designed to provide a platform for connection with university students and other industry professionals. We aim for these events to create the opportunity for informal connections to be made, either through coffee catch ups, shadowing, a workplace visit, or by identifying other professionals a students could also talk to (referring them to a colleague)
Participate in the schools component of the program - Visit a school to speak to young women students involved in the program about your own career journey*
Participate in the schools component of the program - Attend a university event where you would be asked to speak or be part of a panel, sharing your experiences with High School students*
Provide a profile for the Empower social network and participate in the social network (consisting of high school and university students and other industry professionals)
Consider supervising 100 hours of industry placement for an eligible Empower student as part of their degree.

For more information about how we conduct industry placements for Business and Commerce students, please follow this link to BUSN3002

Do you have any links to local high schools, where you think Empower could be offered?
