PARTNER ORGANISATIONS
The Partner Organisations Outreach Team liaises with non-profits and student-led organisations that share WSA’s dedication to promoting gender equality. By collaborating with these organisations on various initiatives, we aim to offer WSA members a wider array of opportunities.
WOMEN OF COLOUR (WOC) BLUEPRINT
The Women of Colour Blueprint (“WOCB”) is an Instagram and LinkedIn based social mobility initiative, with a mission to 'construct Legal, Finance, and Tech industries in a way that recognises and celebrates the unique experiences of Women of Colour'. It publishes profiles of successful and ambitious women from these fields and accompanies this with key information on racial and gender mobility in the UK. The WOCB aims to empower WOC entering and working in these professions, and to engender systemic change in the workplace.
