Young Women’s Conference: 25th November 2024
At Turtle Dove, we are committed to bridging the gap for young women, particularly those aged 14 to 24. Therefore, on Monday 25th November 2024, Turtle Dove Cambridge are hosting the first Young Women’s Conference: Getting Young Women into the workplace and Business. This event will bring together young women exploring career opportunities alongside female business leaders and professionals from various industries across the city.
The choice of date, 25th of November is globally significant as it is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
To mark it, Turtle Dove is providing a positive platform to confront this and other significant barriers such as early pregnancy, domestic violence, homelessness or lack of experience and confidence. All are factors which contribute to unemployment and disengagement from education and training for young women.
These young women represent an untapped workforce, full of resilience and potential. We believe you can play a crucial role in creating pathways to success.
What to Expect:
• Professional Representation and Engagement: Host a careers stall to represent your business or workplace and share your experience with young women.
• Keynote Speakers and Interactive discussions: Hear inspiring stories from women who have overcome adversity and achieved success. Engage in discussions on Gender Equality, Mental Health, Confidence, and more.
• Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow business leaders, young women, and community members.
• Impact: Discover how your business can help close workforce gaps by supporting young women on their path to employment.
Why Attend? By attending, you’ll be part of a movement to create more equitable work environments and provide young women with the opportunities they need to thrive. Your support can help foster a stronger, more inclusive workforce while addressing rising social inequalities in cities like Cambridge.
We are excited about the possibility of partnering with businesses like yours, whether through using Turtle Dove’s services, helping fund our initiatives, or exploring ways to create employment opportunities for young women. Together, we can empower the next generation of female professionals and ensure they have a #voice, #purpose and #choice in their careers.
