Employer Insight Talks

Beginning with a welcome from STEM Women, the audience then heard a fascinating talk from Marjan Beijer de Looze from ofi who provided the audience with a personal insight into her career journey. Marjan focussed on the importance of culture and values, describing how she held a senior position early in her career. She also spoke about how she grew her professional networks and how this has supported her though challenges.

Marjan was followed by Maryan Aliee from ASML, who spoke about her experiences of working and studying in different countries, and the skills that she developed in order to thrive. Maryan also highlighted the internship opportunities on offer at ASML.
