Partnering To Support
Women in Transition.
Are you a professional woman who is returning to the workforce? Jump-start your transition! UBS and Wharton have designed a program to support women returning to the workforce after a career break. Participants will update their business knowledge, develop transition strategies, and network with business leaders. This highly selective program is offered at no charge to qualified applicants through funding from UBS.
Recent studies seem to suggest that there are a number of obstacles that women face when returning to the workforce, including a diminished network and challenging family policies. They must contend with a changing business environment — including technological advancements, regulatory changes, and the effects of mergers/acquisitions. These challenges, as well as personal and family issues, are hurdles that can be overcome with the right preparation and support.
