Director - Australia

• Jun 2020 - Present

Working in collaboration with STEM Returners in the UK to bring to life the vision of a more diverse workplace in Australia. I am passionate about creating back to work opportunities for highly qualified, passionate and committed STEM professionals, who are finding it so challenging to return to a rewarding and valuable career. STEM Returners is a programme to help employers across Australia to recruit, develop and retain the best available talent, and to enable highly qualified and experienced candidates to re-start their career. It aims to redress the gender imbalance within STEM, and work with employers to view CV gaps in a different way. Operating within an incredibly skills short market, this scheme will allow employers to attract candidates from a new talent pool, and give candidates a supported route back to their career. The STEM Returners project facilitates paid short-term employment placements for professionals returning to work after a career break. Alongside the experience gained from the work placement, the STEM Returners project provides support for the candidate in advice, career coaching, networking opportunities and mentoring. All of the candidates going through the programme will also have the opportunity to restart their career in a permanent position at the end of the programme. After 3 years of blood, sweat and tears to bring this programme to life in the UK, we are launching this programme in Australia in 2020. We passionately believe that providing a mechanism to motivated and experienced candidates to return to STEM, will help to create the diverse, agile and innovative STEM workforce that Australia needs for today and the future. Watch this space as we announce more updates in the coming weeks....
