Women@Work
BITCI’s Women@Work programme supports women to find employment that is sustainable, focusing on long-term career goals. We aim to support women who have been out of work for some time or who have relocated to Ireland.

Training is delivered through a series of business-led workshops, offering insight into the world of work and an opportunity for career clinics with business.

Priscilla Silva on BITCI's Women@Work programme
“As a job seeker, I was faced with a lot of rejection. The moral support I got from the Women@Work programme encouraged me to keep going and not give up on finding suitable employment. The programme helped to stay connected with other women in the same situation and have peer support. Also, the mentoring and workshops helped me a lot in my job search and my application process. I am so grateful that I had this much support during my journey.”
The Women@Work programme is funded by the participating business and by a donation from an anonymous funder through Community Foundation Ireland.
