The goal of the Returning Mothers Conference is to encourage and support individuals in returning to the workforce. By putting up a conference that focuses on entrepreneurial training and business setup support, the conference supports individuals who want to maintain their professional lives. Additionally, it offers a very interactive platform to foster communication, creativity, and teamwork for the select group’s empowerment, engagement, and development of innovative minds. The conference discusses how to connect attendees with businesses that are eager to hire women and welcome them back into the national or international workforce. The conference deliberately provides an interface to those who want to resume their careers and have the chance to build their own businesses and exercise their creative sides.
IEEE Returning Mothers conference is dedicated to helping those who want to get back to work. The main goals of this conference, which is primarily for individuals looking to return to the workforce, particularly in the fields of science and engineering, are to act as an intermediate between those seeking employment and the businesses that are interested in hiring them as well as to support those seeking employment by giving them entrepreneurship training and assisting these emerging entrepreneurs in launching their own startups. In addition, RMC fosters returning citizens who want to re – launch their careers. Concisely, Returning Mothers conference aims to serve as a cooperative and interactive platform that trains participants’ minds and equips them for the future.
IEEE Returning Mothers Conference hopes to serve as a platform for helping those who are returning to the workforce by providing them with everything they need to find employment. In particular, the conference wants to boost the number of women returning to the workforce, expand the opportunities for people to start their own businesses, and encourage more employers to take on returning workers. In a nutshell, RMC envisions to improve the quality of life and be a stepping stone in these individual’s lives.
IEEE Region 8 Women in Engineering is proudly a communication supporter of this event.
More information about the conference will be getting announced, until then, you can join the pre-event series following 3 tracks: Entrepreneurship – Education – Empowerment.

The “Women’s Roles in Digital Era” webinar will give insight on how professional female engineers can lead and significantly contribute to the digital era, tell us the challenges they might face and how to overcome them to succeed in the digital world. This webinar will help others to learn by example from other expert engineers and help them steadfast and continue the journey. Engineers from academia and industry will tell us about the different opportunities which will empower us to pursue further opportunities in the different areas of interest. Male engineers will show how they support women in their career and how they can be role models for others to advance women in technology.
