From the gender pay-gap to perceptions around gender and leadership, those who identify as women often have a somewhat different experience to men in the workplace.
At LSE Careers, we want to ensure our students have the support you need to thrive in the workplace, regardless of your gender identity. That’s why we’re working on a range of initiatives including ‘Women in..’, a series of events where you can connect with alumni, employers, role models and potential mentors.
Moreover, employers and organisations in key sectors like banking and finance, technology and data sciences, and others, are working on addressing the gender imbalance seen in their workforce. LSE Careers is working with these organisations to ensure that you have the information, access, and skill development to put your best foot forward and thrive in a fulfilling career.

Join a careers event
In addition to joining LSE Careers' more general offer of events, we also run a number of sessions that might specifically be of interest to students and recent graduates who identify as women, such as:
- 'Women in...' series – which includes sector-specific employer recruitment and networking events – to connect students with employers who are focused on attracting and hiring those who identify as women
- Women in leadership panel – which enables students to hear from a panel of women in mid to senior leadership roles within their organisations sharing their career insights and advice on how students can develop their careers
- Meet an alum: Women in tech – which enables students to meet alumni working in the tech sector in small groups to hear their career insights and advice on breaking into the sector
