TALENT has developed a programme for women currently in technical leadership positions or those aspiring to be, and was successfully launched to our first cohort in 2022.
We know that women are underrepresented in technical leadership positions across the UK.

This dedicated career development opportunity for women aims to address this, by providing a space for colleagues to learn new skills to develop themselves in a current technical leadership role or equip them if they aspire to be in the future.
The programme is named after Caroline Herschel, a pioneer in the discovery of comets and other astronomy work, assisting her brother William. Caroline was an early ‘technician’ at the turn of the 19th century and paved the way for the women of the future to contribute to and play key roles in scientific endeavours.
