Speakers

TARGETjobs are delighted to welcome Kate Taylor at Future Female Engineers for the 2018/2019 programme.

Kate Taylor

Keynote speaker

Kate Taylor is a leading empowerment coach, writer and speaker enabling women in creative and technology industries to find their ‘why’ so that they can live a life of purpose and passion.

Before becoming a coach, Kate worked with clients on some of the UK’s biggest household names as a client services director in London digital agencies. These are highly pressured and highly creative environments, and Kate noticed she was having same conversations with women again and again - the big questions, the unanswered questions, the constant niggling doubts, the fear of being ‘found out’. There just seemed to be so much that women were not giving themselves credit for and it was holding them back from living a truly fulfilled life; both in and out of work.

Kate re-trained as a coach and NLP practitioner and now works with women throughout the world helping them to create and design their best lives. Kate is champion, cheerleader and challenger; passionate about empowering women to connect to their rightful place in and out of the workplace.

Kate is joining us to host a fun and interactive mini workshop on ‘How to Create Your Own Personal Brand’, which highlights the importance of standing out as an individual in a busy marketplace, why we all need to be clear on what we stand for, and how having your own personal brand gives you the competitive advantage.

I enjoyed meeting with the companies and hearing their advice, especially on application process as I will be applying for graduate jobs.
Student

A thoroughly enjoyable event, with very intelligent and driven students. The students are from a mixture of years so proved great for our current and future pipeline, and company branding. You also walk away with the details of circa 100 top quality students, so a very unique event.

Speaking to graduates and recruiters in such a relaxing environment was such an insightful opportunity- so many of my questions were answered, even those I didn't know I had.
Student

A fantastic way to meet other female engineers, be inspired to pursue a career in the sector and learn more about the application process.
Student

Everything was great, the overall vibe puts you in a good mood and even if you come in scared and unsure about what to do, that quickly goes away.
Student

Much more relaxed atmosphere compared to any previous event I've attended which made it easier to build relationships with employers.
Student

It has made me realise that engineering is quite an open sector and that there is a lot of scope to enter a lot of areas.
Student

We have attended the Future Female Engineering event for a number of years now; it is a great opportunity for employers to meet with interested and motivated female engineering students. Throughout the event students have the opportunity to get to know their preferred employers, hear what is like to be a graduate in the company and also gain helpful hints and tips on the application process. The event is a great opportunity for students and employers to network across a number of informal and fun sessions!
BAE Systems

Good combination of chances to network/ask questions and hear from companies directly.
Student

The day has been inspirational and a great reminder of why I chose to study engineering.
Student

It was delightful to see so many high calibre female engineering students who had made the effort to research our company and prepare questions for the networking session. The event was very well organised, informative and fun. This is our third year attending the event and we look forward to getting involved again next year.
