ABOUT US

Who we are

Women’s Career Society is an association that inspires young women to find a career path and unites like-minded students to build a wide network.

Completely student-driven, the association is run by 14 ambitious business minded students in different stages of their studies. Our board consists of students from Aalto University and Hanken School of Economics.

WCS was founded in 2019 by four ambitious Hanken students. Aalto University has been a part of WCS since 2020.

Why we exist

The main goal of WCS is to close the gender gap in specialist and leadership positions by empowering, inspiring and uniting students and professionals.

We believe that strong networks build confidence, boost individual strengths and enable people to motivate each other. Therefore, we aim to unite talented students regardless of major subject or year of studies.

What we do

Through our social media platforms we seek to motivate our network by presenting different career possibilities and lifting up role models.

We organize various inspirational events, like panel discussions and after works, both independently and in cooperation with companies. We also host an podcast which you can find on Spotify.

Additionally, we run workshops on career guidance, including interview and CV preparation. As well as an annual mentoring program which helps students find their career paths.
