PROJECT IDEAS:
The projects can be bucketed into three key areas; Training and Development, Networking, and Communications. Each project can run independently or in collaboration for a more fulfilling experience for the members.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:
OnlineScience-Based Courses: These courses will provide the subscriber with information and tools to encourage women into a career in science (e.g. data science). The aim will be to have these courses available on a monthly basis via an online free platform. Sponsorship could be sought from high profile companies such as HP, Google, ETH etc.
Leadership workshops: Training and coaching to increase female leadership skills. These could be a supplement from the mentor-matching program, in which both mentors and trainees would share their progress and practical outputs of their learning.
NETWORKING
Safe-spaces: This forum allows for subscribers to connect with other people via an online forum designed for anonymity but open for sharing stories, getting support, and seeking advice. The forum is either online or via IRL and will enable weekly connections with users.
Mentor-matching program: This program offers individuals a personalised professional accompaniment with a volunteer mentor for a fixed duration. The offering will select mentors from various professional fields and will create a bridge between women from different experiences and age levels.
Brainstorm platform:
This will be an area where women who have ideas and projects can come together and seek help and partnerships. This may work as a spin-off with the mentor matching program and will enable joint collaborations across the various platforms on offer.
