Coventry Job Shop are excited to host an event exclusively for female customers on Wednesday 5 March, dedicated to empowering women to secure high-quality jobs and meaningful careers.
The ‘I Can’ International Women’s Day Jobs and Careers Event is designed to inspire and shatter stereotypes, opening doors for women in industries they may not have previously considered.
Each session will welcome up to 100 women, offering them the chance to hear from trailblazing female leaders in fields such as construction, manufacturing, armed services and logistics.
Guest speakers from Coventry City Council will also be at the event to deliver powerful talks. This includes Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, Councillor Dr Kindy Sandhu.
After these motivational talks, those at the event will be able to see what jobs are on offer. Attendees will be able to apply for live positions and connect with skills providers to gain the necessary qualifications for these exciting roles.
Councillor Dr Kindy Sandhu, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills said: “This will be a really powerful careers event to mark International Women’s Day and support our female residents looking to either start their career or break into a new industry.
“We have some fantastic employers who will be attending, equipped with plenty of advice. I would encourage any women looking for their next career journey to join me at the Job Shop for this exciting event.”
This exclusive event (with the Job Shop closed to other customers) offers a unique opportunity to inspire and empower women on their career journeys.
Some of the confirmed employers and training providers for the event include Hill Group, Balfour Beatty Vinci, The British Army, Octavious and Tarmac. Coventry Adult Education, NIS Group, Hercules Academy, Challenge TRG and RMF will also be on hand to offer valuable advice on relevant training courses.
