Aerospace Women’s Day
On May 29, 2018, the fifth Aerospace Women's day will be held. The NVR is supporting this event. The event aims to bring students and young professionals together to network and share experiences.
The theme for the day is: 'Be the game changer'. Over the last few years, there has been a focus on women in top positions or in unexpected positions. They were game changers, as they changed their own career and followed an unexpected path, but they also changed the game for other women. The program will focus on stories and experiences from the aerospace industry through the inspiring talks of speakers. However, you will also be able to find out how to be a game changer yourself in one of the workshops.
