Event description

At the WOC Skill Collective, one of our key focus areas is to support, encourage, and empower women of colour through safe and inclusive professional skill development opportunities.

Speaking Up, Standing Firm is just that: an empowering, inspiring, and growth oriented panel discussion on the theme of self-advocacy.

Despite our unique professional strengths and strong experiences of working across different settings, as women of colour we are often slowed down by self-doubt, forced labels, and incorrect stereotypes.

We invite you to connect with and learn from leading women of colour working in diverse sectors and possessing strong professional skillsets. Through their personal stories, we will discuss strategies to overcome some of the barriers that prevent us from speaking up, setting boundaries, and being our authentic selves at work. With an opportunity to ask questions, network, and share stories, this event is sure to leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and supported.

We promise you an evening of enriching conversations, practical tips, honest dialogue and warm vibes...and, nibbles of course ;)

This event is specially curated for women of colour and/or women from migrant and culturally and racially marginalised backgrounds.

Think of it as an end of year gift to our precious community - you don't want to miss the invaluable takeaways from this one!

The Women of Colour Skill Collective (WOCSC) is a network established to connect, support and celebrate women of colour living and working in Australia. Our aim is to create a safe and inclusive community of women to grow in their professional, personal and creative pursuits and hence champion representation across workplaces, freelancing communities, and other relevant sectors.

Our own experiences as migrant women in Australia highlight the opportunity gaps unique to culturally and racially marginalised (CARM) and migrant women which often hinder us from being our authentic selves in the workplace. We are building this community to facilitate access to a network that shares ideas, resources, opportunities and platforms that will enable us to recognise our full potential and take up the space we all deserve. We recognise and appreciate the value of Diversity and Inclusion initiatives across systems, and the WOC skill collective complements these reforms by supporting individual capacity building - a key driver to increasing representation in mainstream communities.

The WOCSC community connects like minded women who are committed to growing professionally, personally and creatively and could use a bit of support along the way. Our initiatives are focused on creating networking and mentorship opportunities, including skill development workshops in those areas where formal training is often found lacking. Leveraging the power of collaboration, we hope to foster a sense of belonging amongst all our participants, and support one another to do what it takes to break through this ‘double-glass ceiling’.
