Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D University Programme with SEFS 2024/25
This programme is open to female* undergraduate students of STEM subjects entering their 2nd, 3rd or 4th year of studies in 2024/25. The Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D University Programme aims to fuel development of the female STEM2D talent pipeline by awarding and sponsoring women at critical points in their careers in STEM2D disciplines. This programme was introduced in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science in UCC in 2018 and has been instrumental in supporting our female students through a range of initiatives including leadership training, mentoring, internships, bursaries, and CV/recruitment clinics.
