Careers Support
Women: we moved our Free Free Fridays to be much more Career support based, helping, as much as we could support those members of ours who were looking to move, return or change careers. Through this, we have managed to see many of our members get great new jobs and/or careers.
To extend this we now include a Jobsboard and also a candidate page so we can offer up our members to companies looking for diverse candidates.
Workshops
We Started our Workshop Wednesdays to host Workshops and peer to peer-supported learning and added an option to sponsor them and engage /run workshops. We have also partnered with our great Pals at Codehub bristol which mixes it up a bit – We’d like to say a massive thanks to both Desklodge and our supportive members for running the workshops. Our sponsors to date:
- Desklodge
- Toumetis
We will announce this years sponsors as they come – if you want to support these then please see our Workshops Page here.
