You’ve got decades of experience under your belt. You’ve developed a valuable skill set, an expansive network of contacts, and a track record that speaks for itself. So why is finding a job, switching careers, or moving up the corporate ladder after 40 & 50+ proving harder than it should be?

Join SecondActWomen as we host the first Career Camp for businesswomen 40 & 50+ and offer focused insights, strategies, and expert-led workshops to help career seekers navigate gendered ageism in the workplace, market themselves to be discovered on LinkedIn, makeover their resume and adopt a career search strategy that opens doors.

Why is this Career Camp important you ask?

• Age is the one critical element missing from 92% of D&I strategies.
• 61% of workers 45 years+ have either experienced workplace ageism or witnessed it.
• 29.5% of the 5,546 new hires in FY 2020 were under the age of 30.
• Women can experience ageism earlier than men and tend to experience it more frequently than men.

At SecondActWomen's Career Camp, you’ll…

• Debunk myths around age to uncover your personal brand.
• Build a career search strategy to amplify your value.
• Get tips to better market yourself and be discovered on LinkedIn by recruiters.
• Connect with other likeminded businesswomen 40 & 50+.
