What did we do last year for International Women in Engineering Day?

We hosted a networking event, had four inspirational speakers and a lively panel discussion with questions and answers. The guest speakers were Lucy Edge, fromSatellite Applications Catapult; Melissa Thorpe, fromSpaceport Cornwall; Jane Kingston, who is one of our Non-Executive Directors; and Sade Mokuolu, our WMFTS Product Compliance Manager. Each of the speakers briefly spoke about their career, their current focus and then took questions from the room regarding how we can generate more interest in careers in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – particularly for women, who currently fill just 12% of such jobs. Below find a clip of some of the highlights from the day.
