It’s getting cold so here’s hoping you are all dressed up warm in some lovely new jumpers for the season! On the subject of new, we have some great new products and exciting things in the planning to help ensure that we can be here still for our members in the long term.

Candidates

We have set up a new candidates page so companies looking for new diverse candidates can search the skill set of our members who are currently looking for jobs. Whilst we do charge for any placements we believe that it’s a fair charge to enable us to support the women through our free weekly drop-in Free Three Fridays (F3F) Sessions. We do hope that you will support us in getting our women into great careers with supportive companies and on fair wages.

Jobs Board

We have now opened up our Jobsboard to all companies looking for Diverse candidates, our existing members already have access, but moving forward we have opened the board up to tech companies in the South West to also use.

Workshop Wednesdays sponsorships

The Workshop Wednesdays are going from Strength to Strength and thanks to our great members, we have lots of brilliant things coming your way in the new year!

Also a big thanks to our individual sponsors – it’s great to know we have support from both our members and companies in the city. It makes us feel all warm and cosy and definitely all worth it!!

It was a hard call but we thought we had better come back up to Bristol after a great work retreat in the lovely Falmouth. We have been setting our agenda for the next year, doing some system thinking, analysing things and will tell you what we thought in our December newsletter. We also have a rather full calendar of events it seems, so we’ll put our heads together and get things sorted before letting all you lovely people know what you can look forward to.

We’d like to say a big Congratulations on the brilliant TEDxBristol on the success of their event! Some great talks and brilliant feedback so well done to the team! Also a BIG THANKS to the team who ran the Workshop Wednesday for us while we were away – we love you all!!

We just thought we would share some of the upcoming brilliant things on the horizon, first up there’s a new meetup in town

South West Business Analysis Group

Sara (a long-time WTH member) and experienced Business Analyst is co-organising a new meetup about business analysis called South West Business Analysis. Join the group to hear talks about how to become a BA and topics including process modeling, UX, data and running workshops. They’re keen to get a diverse range of speakers so get in touch via the Meetup link if you’re interested. If you’ve never considered giving a talk before, we can help and support you to find a topic and build up the confidence to give it a go!
