A one day event to inspire young women to choose rural careers took place on 30<\/span>th <\/span>October 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n

The event was a huge success with 170 attendees and Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) is keen to do the event again next year.<\/p>\n

CNPA is also keen for organisations across Scotland to use the model and repeat the event.<\/p>\n

A new webpage has been created, sharing videos of the event and providing links for rural careers information (training, volunteering, jobs, qualifications):<\/p>\n

This document outlines how we planned the event, successes, and how Women in Wellies can be developed in the future. Please share the document with anyone who is interested in planning a Women in Wellies event.<\/p>\n

Attendees<\/p>\n

The venue (Boat of Garten Community Hall) had a seated capacity of 200. We invited five local High Schools (Alford, Aboyne, Kingussie, Grantown and Speyside) to bring up to 30 girls each from S4-S6. We promoted the event to students through contacts at UHI. We opened up some places for young women and women seeking a career change through Eventbrite. All places were free. CNPA covered transport costs for school groups.<\/p>\n

Speakers<\/p>\n

We planned speakers by thinking about the particular jobs \/ areas of work in the outdoor sector we wanted covered, and then consulted our steering group to find suggestions for good speakers to fill those slots.\u00a0 Here is an outline of the programme.<\/p>\n
