Women and Career

Women and Career operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering women throughout their professional journeys. The platform delivers career advice, practical tips, tools, and resources through an online presence and social media, with a particular focus on STEM fields. It aims to foster an ecosystem where women can access guidance, build networks, and develop essential skills for career advancement.

The organization was founded in 2017 by Jane Egerton-Idehen, a telecommunication executive. Her initial insight stemmed from successfully building an internal corporate forum that provided career development support for women. Recognizing the significant demand and the potential to scale this impact beyond her immediate workplace, Egerton-Idehen launched Women and Career to serve a global audience, drawing on her passion for empowering women and girls in STEM.

Women and Career serves a global community of women seeking to develop and grow their careers, particularly those in STEM industries. The organization's vision is to inspire and equip women with the necessary resources and community support to navigate career challenges and achieve their professional aspirations, thereby fostering a robust pipeline of female talent.
