WISE Technician Award Nomination FormSponsored by the RAF

Over 1.5 million technicians are employed in the UK working across engineering, science, health and technology. They are integral to overcoming some of the great challenges of the coming years and decades, and yet many career paths are not visible to girls. We want to change this – to show the role model technicians in industry and healthcare as well as those in universities.

The purpose of this award is to raise the profile of technician as a career path for girls who want a hands-on practical role. Are you a technician working in STEM who loves what you do? Will your story help inspire the next generation of technicians? You might be working in a business, a school, a university, a research institution or a hospital – wherever you work, if you love what you do and want to share your story with girls and women who might find their niche as a technician then nominate yourself, or someone you know, below.

All WISE Awards nominations must be submitted in either Microsoft word or PDF format via email to wiseawards@wisecampaign.org.uk before midnight on 23 June 2019.
