The Women into Manufacturing and Engineering careers event takes place at the Baths Hall in Scunthorpe on Wednesday June 21st between 4.30pm and 6.30pm.
The free-to-attend event happens shortly before the International Women in Engineering Day, annually on June 23rd.
Kirsty Clode, Chair of WiME, explains: “By meeting women working in manufacturing or engineering roles, we’re providing access to role models with a unique insight to offer to both aspiring young women and those who may be heading back to work after a break, or women who are considering a career change.
“At our WiME events, people of all ages and backgrounds can find out what industry jobs are really like from the women who do them, as well as the different routes there are into these careers – from on-the-job training to apprenticeships and degrees.”
With great pay, a high number of vacancies and attractive prospects, careers in manufacturing and engineering present a wide variety of interesting and exciting roles, which play an important part in the Humber’s economy.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “We are thrilled to be hosting this event in Scunthorpe, supporting women into the manufacturing and engineering industry.
“Across the region millions of pounds of investment is creating well-paid, highly skilled jobs in these growth sectors – we are all passionate about ensuring these fantastic opportunities are available to everyone in our communities.
“I encourage women and girls across the area to come to The Baths Hall and see first-hand how they can benefit from the rewarding careers in industry on their doorstep.”
