On Friday 24th March, a group of students were invited to attend a ‘My Skills My Life’ activity session delivered by WISE (Women into Science and Engineering).
What is My Skills My Life?
My Skills My Life is a tried and tested outreach resource created by WISE to inspire girls aged 11-19 to consider a career in STEM. It allows girls to find out about their preferred personality types and matches them with role models who have rewarding and successful careers in STEM.
This unique careers tool doesn't just showcase STEM careers but also highlights and recognises the brilliant people who are already working within STEM subjects.
