Oct 10, 2023 Events 2 minutes read

On Monday 9th October, STEM Women hosted the London STEM Women Graduate Careers Event. The event attracted 41 exhibiting employers and over 600 student and graduate attendees.

The event began with a welcome talk from STEM Women events host, Sophie Chadwick and an insight talk from event sponsors. Throughout the day, attendees were able to network with employers in Congress Hall, Congress Suite and Foyer.

The Panel Discussion

Attendees could listen to a panel session, facilitated by STEM Women. The audience asked some fascinating questions covering career highs and lows, tips for current students and the importance of mentoring.

The panel’s top tips were:

  1. Always say yes to an opportunity that excites when you can – even if it’s not what you had planned.
  2. Don’t be afraid to fail – you’ll have to do things you don’t like in order to find what you do like. Get yourself into this ‘trial and error’ mindset.
  3. There are some challenges with working in a male dominated industry – but they are rare these days! Be part of the change and show the world what a woman in STEM looks like.
‘This is what an engineer looks like’

Throughout the day, attendees could connect with the exhibiting employers in the networking areas. There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the event – attendees loved taking pictures at our STEM Women selfie area, as well as building their professional networks and finding out about amazing career opportunities.
