She delivered an inspirational talk about here life as a metallurgist. She left school with few qualifications and returned to education around the age of 26. Having completed sufficient qualifications to allow her to apply to university she eventually graduated with a first class honours degree in Materials Engineering. She has had a varied and successful career in the steel industry, often being the only woman in a very male dominated environment. She is real role model for girls, showing that even if you leave school with few qualifications it does not necessarily mean you can\u2019t return, and succeed, in education at a later time. Nor does working in a male dominated industry mean you can\u2019t succeed! Helen\u2019s determination and ability to deal with some extremely difficult situations was awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday 18th July 3 of our members spent the day at a local secondary&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":873,"featured_media":4796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>July 2024 | News | Blog | Events | SI East Grinstead<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI East Grinstead : Blog &amp; News : July 2024 : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI East Grinstead .
