We are delighted to announce that the MEETS course will run again in the spring of 2008. This popular course, now in its third year, is aimed at professional women who have completed their second degree, and have an interest in exploring enterprise opportunities within the science and technology sector.
The programme is designed to meet the needs of mature female professionals with substantial work experience in science and technology, who are currently working in business, taking a career break, or considering starting a business of their own. The programme combines presentations and small group sessions in order to achieve its mission - to enable women to assume leadership roles in company innovation and entrepreneurship by encouraging and enhancing their personal and professional development. Topics include
- What it takes to become more enterprising
- Presentation and networking skills
- Negotiation and organisational skills
