The ‘Virtual Retreat’ provides an opportunity for around 30-40 junior and mid career women economists to develop their networks, receive mentoring and strengthen their leadership and career decision making. Participants will be drawn from academia, government and the private sector.
The 2021 Virtual Retreat will be held over 5 sessions, from 3:00-5pm AEDT daily in the week of 15-19 November 2021. Zoom will be used for the sessions.
This year’s Retreat will focus on dealing with career challenges against the backdrop of the COVID pandemic. Participants can expect to discuss and receive advice on:
- Building and maintaining career momentum
- Developing networks
- Making career decisions under uncertainty
- Resilience and confidence.
The Virtual Retreat will involve group discussions, small group mentoring sessions with senior women economists and external speakers. The program is outlined below.
Participants are asked to come to the Virtual Retreat with a career objective or challenge that they can work through during the mentoring session. Opportunities will also be provided for networking over the course of the Virtual Retreat.
