The importance of keeping your skills fresh
Women continue to make strides toward a more equitable workforce, but still have a long way to go. One way that women can forge ahead and gain traction in the workforce is to develop their skills. By continuing to learn and develop their skills, women equip themselves with the knowledge and tools to succeed. And with the knowledge and tools, women can land bigger jobs, showcase themselves on projects, and prove their value.
At IAW, we strongly believe in the motto Never Stop Learning. To that end, we have developed resources that help women to continuously build and improve their skills. Initiator, Innovator, and Influencer level members receive access to a series of training resources through Star12.
