Women in Projects Australia: Mind the Gap with Talent International

Power Skills

Mind the Gap: Returning to work after a break.

Often we have a break in our careers. Be it Maternity leave, Carer’s leave or a Career break. Let’s discuss some strategies for Returning to work, Career progress and what women actually want. This session will have a Panel interview – C level women that have had children – returned to work, and will share their advice and the issues they faced.
