Summary:

The Gender Action Plan is a vital part of how the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) plans to support colleges to become more accessible and diverse. It sets outs how they are asking colleges to consider their infrastructure, policies, processes and activities to determine the role they can play in tackling gender imbalances.

CDN is partnering with Equate Scotland and is delivering a series of four half-day sessions over two days: 19 and 31 May 2017. Since its launch in 2006, Equate Scotland has become known as the experts in promoting, developing and supporting women in STEM.

Please Note:

College staff can sign up for all sessions or for single sessions. Lunch will be provided on both days.
