THIS IS PEOPLE LIKE ME

People Like Me goes digital – can your company help us reach 200,000 girls?

‘Following the success of People Like Me, WISE is collaborating with techUK on an ambitious plan to reach 200,000 girls, showing them that STEM subjects will open doors to a variety of jobs to suit their personality type.

The digital platform will help girls to navigate the resources and explore exciting STEM opportunities. We will also be offering training to deliver the People Like Me resource via an online platform.

The project is now in the build phase and will be launched in summer 2018.
