London \u2013 22 June 2021:<\/strong><\/span> Women in Mining UK (WIM UK) and its Strategic Partner, Women on Boards UK (WOB UK), are delighted to announce a bursary programme for ten WIM UK members to attend WOB UK\u2019s Board CV Masterclass in 2021. The bursary programme is WIM UK\u2019s latest initiative to ensure the mining industry\u2019s talent pipeline \u2013 from graduates to the Board \u2013 is diverse and robust.<\/p>\n

This partnership complements WIM UK\u2019s other professional development initiatives, such as the summer internship programme, which has run for three years and has included roles at Anglo American, Altus Strategies, Golden Star and the World Gold Council, a scholarship programme to Camborne School of Mines and the Metals and Energy Finance MSc course at Imperial College, and mentoring events.<\/p>\n

Board CV Masterclass attendees will learn what happens in the boardroom, understand how to position themselves to demonstrate they are Board ready, and discover the language and structure recruiters want to see in the CV of a Non-Executive Director (NED). By the end of the two sessions, attendees will be able to craft a CV that reflects their experience and capabilities they will bring to the boardroom as well as how to pitch themselves in a conversation or email exchange. The course also includes a one-on-one follow-up session during which each participant receives personalised feedback on her CV.<\/p>\n

Alex Buck, Managing Director at WIM UK, says,\u00a0\u201cWe are delighted to have launched this bursary programme with Women on Boards UK because it is crucial we have better representation on the boards of mining companies. What we also hope to achieve with this programme is dispel the myths of what makes a person \u2018board ready\u2019. You are never too young to embark on your boardroom journey and there isn\u2019t a specific set of qualities that makes a person qualified to become a NED. We are eager to see women from all backgrounds, roles and age groups applying for the bursary.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Fiona Hathorn, CEO at Women on Boards UK, adds, \u201cWomen on Boards UK is pleased to <\/em>offer our signature Board CV Masterclass to 10 Women in Mining UK members. This is a transformational programme that helps attendees understand how to package their experience in a way that resonates with recruiters. With the Swann last year showing only 10% of Boards of mining companies listed on the London Stock Exchange and AIM were women<\/em>[1]<\/strong><\/em><\/a> the sector still has a ways to go and one way to solve this problem is ensuring more women are visible to recruiters and are speaking their language.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The deadline to apply is 16 July 2021. For more information about Women on Boards UK\u2019s Board CV Masterclass, please visit the WOB UK website<\/a>.
