Why this network exists
Every year, thousands of highly qualified women drop out of the workforce due to social expectations, family obligations and other personal circumstances. Unfortunately, returning to the workforce has traditionally not been easy — with workplace biases, inflexible schedules, and lack of support and reskilling opportunities. That was our motivation behind setting up the Return To Work Network.
We have collaborated with organisations and corporate partners who are committed to creating return to work opportunities. We have partnered with initiatives that offer crucial technical training and learning opportunities.
