Programme Overview
CreateHER is a multiuniversity, female only, 6-week programme that seeks to open students’ minds to the possibility of developing entrepreneurial leadership skills to apply in their future careers. The programme was developed by IdeasLab at the University of Galway and is led by GROWTHhub and TrailblazHER at TU Dublin.
The programme consists of 6 workshops (4pm to 6pm) on Tuesday evenings (November 4th to December 9th). Over the course of 6 sessions, students will learn how to build confidence, develop an innovative mindset, practice creative skills, network with others and work on their personal development.
The programme will be delivered by a combination of workshops and discussions with women who are leaders in their area. The workshop sessions are informal and relaxed and no course work or assignments are required.
At the end of the academic year, all participants get the opportunity to “shadow” employees in partner businesses to understand what it is like to walk in the shoes of successful women and see the different roles and sectors they are involved in. In addition, all participants are invited to an AWAY-DAY, which will be held in GALWAY in April (TBC). This promises to be a fun day and it will bring together all participants of the CreateHER programmes from Technological University Dublin, University of Galway, South East Technological University, University of Limerick, Munter Technological University and Atlantic Technological University.

Through the interactions I had with other women, I came to realise that despite our differences, we are all very much the same at our core. This experience has been truly transformative, and I am grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside such incredible women.”
