“Lead the Way” session explored education pathways
The University of Wollongong (UOW) last week (Wednesday 12 October) welcomed a group of young women who are members of the Multicultural Communities Council of Illawarra (MCCI) Lead the Way program for a day of hands-on workshops and conversations on technology, entrepreneurship and career paths for young women in STEM.
