Ready SET go...

Ready SET Go is an exciting project to encourage more women into non-traditional training and employment. It is important that women have the opportunity to fulfil their potential based on their talents and interests rather than their gender and should be offered the same opportunities to pursue whatever career they chose. Working with partners the project aims to encourage more women into non-traditional training and work opportunities by:

• developing specialist accredited training sessions to include personal development, confidence building and skills awareness
• providing support into further training, work experience and employment
• providing diversity training to teachers, educators and advisers to help reduce gender stereotyping in advice and support
• working with employers to raise awareness of the potential of recruiting women into non-traditional areas and look at addressing the barriers faced by women entering these sectors.

The project is currently only available to women (16+) living in the Objective 1 counties of:

Anglesey, Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd, Merthyr Tydfil, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Swansea and Torfaen

Costs for Registered childcare or family care can be covered and travel support

If you:

• are a woman who is considering a new career
• know any women who would benefit from the project – someone who wants a change of direction or would just like to try something new
• are an employer operating in the fields of science, engineering, technology or any other sectors where women are under-represented and would like to find out more about getting involved with the project
• would like any further information
