“If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”
Though a common refrain, it is true that women tend to be less visible in the engineering and technology sectors, further exacerbating their underrepresentation in the field. WE Local is a platform to elevate the voices of women leaders and spotlight role models for the next generation of engineers and technologists.
Regardless of your career level, you’ll leave WE Local with renewed inspiration and passion for personal growth.
