We’re pleased to announce that InterWorks is supporting the launch of a new data community! DataWomen is a network that will host regular webinars, run a mentoring program, host a LinkedIn group and share awesome content and links for other groups. Learn more at the DataWomen page.
Celebrating the Community of Women in Data
The aim of all of this is to support and empower DataWomen and DataFriends by creating an inclusive community for discussion and mutual learning.
Our first event will be a webinar on Thursday, August 27. Registration is now open, so feel free to sign up! The topic for our first event will be how to thrive in data. Join us for a fireside chat with some amazing women as we tackle tough topics like:
- busting myths about technical women and women in tech
- backing yourself before and after you land the job
- managing your career and time (whether too much or too little) in the era of COVID
- the roles and importance of advocates and mentors in supporting your career
