The "Female Makers Schaffhausen" initiative supports and accompanies women in their professional development. It connects women who want to achieve more in their working lives with mentors who make their experience and network available to the female leaders of tomorrow.
More women in leadership positions
The majority of leading positions in many companies and organizations are still held by men. The reasons for this are both individual and structural, but the consequence is clear: women in leadership positions, as entrepreneurs, or executive directors are still something special.
It shouldn‘t remain that way. As part of the Female Makers Schaffhausen initiative, we organize a mentoring program. Women from different companies, industries and career stages can support each other when entering professional life, when taking the next career step or when taking the step into self-employment. We aim to empower women in leadership positions to shape the development of companies and the Schaffhausen region even more in the future.
The Economic Promotion of the Canton Schaffhausen promotes and positions the Canton of Schaffhausen as a place to live and work as part of its residential location marketing. The mentoring program aims to strengthen women in their professional development and inspire them to take on important positions or become self-employed. We strive for skilled and empowered workers and the maintenance of a strong and thriving business location.
