Achieve your career goals
WiT’s learning and development program offers a big choice of affordable and accessible courses and events to help our members succeed at every stage of their career journey. It doesn’t matter whether you are a new graduate just starting out, changing jobs, returning to work after a break, or in a senior leadership role, we are here to support you.
WiT has been providing learning and development programs for women in STEM for 25 years – from practical workplace skills, to our Board Readiness™ Certificate, which was the first of its kind in Australia.
Our programs provide the practical skills women need to be satisfied, successful and to advance in a STEM career, regardless of their specific discipline or industry. Courses are delivered by qualified facilitators, academics and business leaders who are experts with a wealth of practical experience at the coalface.
We know life can be a juggle so many of our programs are available online giving you the flexibility to be involved at a time and place that suits you best. We welcome women from all locations, all professional interests and cultural backgrounds, and all ages and career levels.
