Company Milestones
BWi Kickstart Scheme 2021:
We have taken part in the government-run Kickstart scheme, helping young minds build their future. Business Women in believes in equal opportunities and we are using the scheme to develop their employability skills over 6 months. BWi are tailoring their work to individual needs and desired career paths, whilst teaching them the fundamentals of marketing. For example we have put some of our kickstarters in placements outside of BWi, in industries such as fashion and tourism. We welcomed our first cohort of 50 in May and due to the success we have now added a second cohort of 50 who started in August.
Continuation of Online Meet Ups:
Before the pandemic, all meet ups were in person. However, the pandemic caused us to shift our services online and we are now continuing with online meet up as well as in person. This way we can offer the best of both worlds and meet the needs of all of our members, allowing them to attend meet ups safely and confidently.
Brand new website:
We have recently updated our website so it is more efficient and easier to navigate. Our website has enabled the growth of BWi from members in 15 counties when we set up our first website to now 46. We are continually updating our website to increase functionality and usability, future proofing our company and offering our services in the best way.
