At this event we hope to inspire women from all backgrounds to find their place in politics, learning interpersonal skills, approaches to applications and general advice on civil service careers. It's an opportunity to network and ask questions to help find your pathway into politics.
As part of black history month, we hope to empower black women to take up a career in politics, where black female voices are powerful and needed.
