Women into Manufacturing and Engineering (WiME)

Women into Manufacturing and Engineering (WiME) is a business led programme supported by Hull City, East Riding, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire Councils, to encourage girls and women to choose a STEM based career in the manufacturing, engineering, digital, construction and renewables industries.

We started in 2016 with 3 companies supporting us and now have over 50 locally based companies as WiME Partners.  We run events on the north and south bank once a year.  Our events are different to normal careers events - we have a girls only schools session and then an early evening session for parents/carers with daughters and mature women.  We find that when girls meet women from local firms that are having fantastic STEM based careers it really helps them to see the amazing possibilities for them.  To date our events have reached over 4600 girls and women. 

We also work with our WiME Partners and Humber based schools to run our Raising Aspirations programme for girls in Yr8/9/10.  Recently we started the WiME Mentoring programme to provide one to one support to women already in our manufacturing, engineering, digital, construction and renewables industries or those looking to make a career change to these industries.

Collaboration with locally based organisations is key to inspiring our region's future workforce.  So we are very happy to be part of the Bondholder family.  All organisations we work with are keen to recruit a diverse talent pool to their teams.  We already have fantastic female role models in our region.  By working together we help to make these women more visible to other girls and women and we strengthen the message that the manufacturing, engineering, digital, construction and renewable sectors are places where they are going to made very welcome and can thrive.
