Wednesday 15 October | 5.30pm-8.00pm
RenewableNI, in partnership with Pinsent Masons, is pleased to host a Women in Renewables networking event aimed women in the middle.
Whether you are have transitioned to renewable energy from another sector, moved to Northern Ireland and missed building up a local network as your progressed in your career, or have taken a career break, then Women in the Middle is the perfect event for you.
We recognise that many networking events are either aimed at those on the first rung or at senior leadership level, and those in the middle are left to ‘muddle through’.
This evening event will give you the opportunity to make new connections over drinks and buffet in the Pinsent Masons’ office in the centre of Belfast.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from a specialist recruiter on empowering them to apply for promotions and new roles. Mentors from the Women in Renewables pilot, along with those currently on the course, will also be available to chat to.
Women in the Middle booking below speakers – opening soon.
