NewsWomen@Work needs your views - please respond by end of March to this survey
09 March 2010
The WEA's Women@Work project provides information and training for women in northern Scotland.
We know from experience and research, that women are under represented in decision making which affects us all, and that a lack of confidence is a major barrier for many. We want what we provide to help women change this, for everyone's benefit.
To make sure what we offer is of good quality and relevant, and that it is genuinely useful for YOU, we are gathering your views to include in our report for our funders, and to plan our future developments.
